City Council held a Work Session with the Planning Commission to discuss development along Washington Street and other planning issues.

Mayor Donley made opening remarks, and Planning Commission Chair Hurd spoke to the principal issues that should be considered regarding development along Washington Street.

Planning and Zoning Director Lynn spoke to this issue. Staff to the BAR Smith made a slide presentation of Washington Street buildings that illustrate the current guidelines.

Members of Council, Members of the Planning Commission, Planning and Zoning Director Lynn and City Manager Lawson participated in the discussion.

City Manager Lawson and Planning and Zoning Director Lynn will take a look at the Planning staff resources and report back with a recommendation with respect to the composition of a seven-member task force. The task force would review issues regarding the Washington Street design guidelines both in terms of definition and in terms of potential incentives regarding the redevelopment of some of the properties. The possible composition of the task force could include representatives of the Planning Commission, Board of Architectural Review, civic groups, landowners, real estate community, and the Chamber of Commerce.





There was discussion on transportation and land use. During the planning process of new development, there should always be representatives from both Planning and Transportation departments present. There is a need to get people out of their cars. It was noted that there is a need for pedestrian pathways at the side of every building so that people can get to a bus or transit.

The possible acquisition of available open space and the possible establishment of a task force to look at the available open space were discussed. It was noted that there is a Planning Commission subcommittee on open space which has requested the Planning staff to provide it with an inventory of all open space in the City. The Park and Recreation Commisson also has an Open Space Committee. The issue of funding was also addressed.
