MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />NOVEMBER 9, 1993 <br />became apparent that the City was at a transition <br />point, and the need for more planning was identified. <br />The Administrator noted that the highest priority was <br />the stakeholders survey which will identify what the <br />residents and business owners in the City want. <br />Capital Improvement planning was also a high priority. <br />The City Planner reported that the update of the Comp <br />Plan will be much more focused than the original plan <br />was. At that time the City was trying to accomplish a <br />lot of things in a broad way. The community has <br />changed and the City is more sophisticated in its <br />development decision - making process. The Planner <br />expected that a lot of the update will deal with <br />process, such as decision - making strategies, how to <br />attract certain kinds of development in certain areas, <br />etc. <br />Drabik asked if the City would be doing a survey. <br />The City Administrator replied that the survey is in <br />the process. Bill Morris of Decision Resources will be <br />scheduled to give a presentation to the City on what a <br />survey can and cannot do. The Administrator expected <br />that the survey will include representation from the <br />business community as well as residents. <br />Carson suggested that there are two separate Little <br />Canadas, one on the east side of the freeway and one on <br />the west, and felt the survey should take these <br />differences into account. <br />Drabik asked whether or not the survey would include <br />responses from the more transient population in the <br />City and whether these responses will be given the same <br />weight as those of property owners. <br />The Commission felt that property owner responses <br />should have more weight than responses from renters <br />feeling that property owners have more of a vested <br />interest in the City. The Commission did indicate <br />that the opinion of the rental population was <br />important, but should be weighed differently. <br />The following Vision Alternatives were developed with <br />regard to update of the Comp Plan: <br />*Direction for a better community; <br />*Good decisions; <br />*Framework for development /redevelopment. <br />Page 12 <br />
