DISCUSSION ITEM — NEW BUSINESS a) Comprehensive Plan Update — Affirmation of Vision and Core Values. Staff Presentation: Hirt provided an update on the progress of the Comprehensive Plan, and spoke about why staff wanted the Commission to provide a recommendation to the City Council on the draft Vision and Values statements. Alison Cotey, consultant with Design Workshop, outlined the proposed draft Vision and Values statements for the Comprehensive Plan, and how they came up with those statements. Commissioner Discussion: There was a discussion about how concise the vision statements should be, and whether they should be more open ended. There was a desire for the language to reflect that there could be multiple ways to achieve an end goal, not just one. There was also desire for some of the language to be stronger and more proactive. However, there was also a consensus for other visions, like the community connections, to be softer in order to make it more approachable. One suggestion was to replace the phrase "connected community" with the term "neighbors". There was also a discussion of what would happen when the vision and values statements were in conflict. Cotey said that this issue would be discussed during the next stage related to future growth scenarios and options for goals and strategies, where they would be able to evaluate the trade-offs when these values are in conflict. There was a discussion about how development related to community character, and whether this value should be broader. Hirt said that the intent of this value was more about physical changes to the community, rather than just being about new development.
