MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 8, 1993 The City Planner also pointed out that the City may want to look at specific zonings and what is allowed in those zonings. There may be uses allowed in the specific zoning districts that the City now feels are inappropriate. The Planner also pointed out the Ultimate Golf development on Rice Street which was done in the middle of a redevelopment area. The Planner noted that it will cost the City a lot of money to redevelopment that area and relocate Ultimate Golf if a redevelopment project comes in. Drabik felt that everyone wants an updated Comp Plan, the question is how much can the City afford. DeLonais did not believe the zoning map would change too much as a result of updating the Comp Plan. The Planner replied that this may be true, but the zoning ordinance might change a lot. DeLonais felt that the Planning Commission should meet with the City Council and Community Pride Group and see what their ideas are. Drabik stated that she would like the information from the Planner on redevelopment plan formats so that the Commission can evaluate it. DeLonais asked if neighborhood meetings would be held as they were when the first plan was developed. The Planner pointed out that in 1978 the City was divided into planning districts and the City met with each neighborhood. An update of the Comp Plan is more a strategy- oriented planning process. The City will first need to determine its strategy to accomplish the goals it sets. The Council, Planning Commission, Community Pride Committee, and Park and Recreation Commission will need to establish goals, and the Planner indicated that he would assist in developing strategies to accomplish those goals. It was the consensus of the Commission to attend a workshop with the City Council and Community Pride Committee to discuss the Comprehensive Plan. It was noted that the workshop is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, April 28th, at 6:00 P.M.
