City Council Meeting Minutes January 6, 2009 Page 4 of 16 Planning Director Wood explained the City Council directed staff to address a number of revisions which would bring greater internal consistency to the Plan. Staff has incorporated the modifications to the Plan in response to City Council direction. He outlined the public involvement, which took place during the Comprehensive Plan Update process. The process was designed to maximize the extent of public input based upon limited staffing resources and included public boards and commissions, stakeholders, open houses and five Planning Commission public hearings. The assumption was the Comprehensive Plan Amendment would not result in a fundamental modification of the Community Vision but would provide the necessary updates as to demographic, economic, and market trends which continue to impact future land use decisions Planning Director Wood explained the material contained in the PowerPoint presentation is new information. He requested a motion to incorporate the PowerPoint materials into the record. MOTION: Councilor Muckle moved to approve the requested documents into the record, seconded by Councilor Dalton.
