The preliminary policies drafted by Midwest Planning would be submitted in memorandum form. Upon review and modification as directed by the community, a final policy plan would be produced as part of the total Development Frame- work report and mode available for distribution. The initial phase of the policy plan task is the responsibility of the Consultant. Work could be expected to be completed within thirty days. The major and critical community review and comment portion of the policy plan is beyond the jurisdiction of the Consultant. It is hoped that the community would want to proceed as rapidly as possible. In this regard, the Consultant would be committed to whatever reasonable time schedule the City would create. B. Concept Plan: Following the establishment of the policy plan, attention would be directed to translating the City's written development policies and directives into a conceptually mapped, spatial interpretation and statement. This will establish a generalized pattern and expression of desired development elements and relationships. It is anticipated that formulation of the concept plan will require minimal time. One to two weeks would be required by the Consultant to complete the develop- ment of concept plan alternatives. Presentation to community groups and review bodies would follow and be in conjunction with policy plan review. Again, the review, comment and plan selection process is beyond the control of the Con- sultant. It is, however, expected the process could be accomplished in a relatively short period of time. C. Land Use and General Facilities Plan: What may be looked upon as comprising a City's Comprehensive Plan prior to mandatory planning is what may now be termed the Land Use and General Facilities Plan. Under current directives, detailed land use is now emphasized at this stage. Attention must, however, also be given at least in a general fashion to transportation and community facilities and services. As a consequence, separate but interrelated plans would be formulated for these three areas of concern. The plans would be presented graphically and also in text format. It is further suggested that the community would be divided into neighborhood planning districts as discussed in the approach section of this chapter and that specific directions and recommendations would be made for each area. At this level of approach specific uses can be determined as well as special considerations given to concerns such as environmental factors. Completion of the Land Use and General Facilities Plan is estimated to require ninety days. Community review of the plan is expected to be extensive and take equal or more time. Following general community review and comment, modi- fications as necessary would be made and a finalized plan prepared. The City Planning Commission would then hold a public hearing on the plan and assuming a favorable recommendation, the plan would be referred as stipulated by law, at 6 83
