Yet many <br />are usually considered, which can <br />this puzzle and if selected for the <br />(re)development that fulfills the holes <br />Louisville residents have concern about <br />result in a better planned <br />Planning Commission I would aim to <br />or leaks in consumer spending and <br />other strategic plans to help achieve a <br />tax base that can withstand the ebb <br />and flow of the economy and <br />evolution of businesses. In other <br />words, what types of services and <br />products do Louisville resident's leave <br />town in order to buy. There is a whole <br />host of questions surrounding that <br />approach but with that kind of <br />information, it will be a more <br />informed targeted approach to <br />diversifying the tax base. <br />Redevelopment and new <br />development: I am not a big pro <br />development advocate mainly <br />because, most of the time, the <br />negative outweighs the positive. <br />Having been an open space advocate <br />for so long, I believe we need to be a <br />steward of the land that is developed <br />and undeveloped. Once developed, <br />you can never go back and with that <br />how these larger chains are affecting the <br />growth and slowing demand to the down- <br />town businesses. The downtown district is <br />one of Louisville's most important assets <br />and must be stimulated to prosper as an <br />engine of growth through street faire <br />improvements and locally -owned business <br />supports. <br />Lifestyle desirability has increased our <br />population, placing demand on public <br />services, infrastructure, and housing, and <br />increasing expenses for both businesses <br />and housing affordability. The Planning <br />Commission must continue to support <br />balanced housing options to single families <br />and the elderly in the future as the <br />population grows and ages. <br />In the near future, the Planning <br />Commission will need to balance the <br />forces of housing and business growth <br />with wise decisions to avoid business <br />stagnation and loss of available housing. <br />development. However, as reflected <br />in the recent Planning Commission <br />audit, Delo Plaza may have been a <br />missed opportunity in expanding the <br />downtown character and producing <br />a pedestrian -friendly commercial <br />area. <br />The Colorado Technology Center also <br />serves as an example of well-planned <br />development for commercial and <br />residential uses. The location of the <br />area allows for uses that might not <br />be appropriate for areas closer to <br />residential areas or typical retail <br />space. At the same time, CTC, in <br />some ways, feels separate from <br />Louisville. I wonder if occupants of <br />CTC buildings would like to see any <br />changes in that area or if CTC could <br />support some creative efforts with <br />transportation or retail. <br />I also generally agree with some <br />make recommendations accordingly. <br />3 <br />
