REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING WILL START AT 7:20 PM . • JOINT CITY COUNCILIPLANNING.COMMISSION WORK SESSION MARCH 9111999 -DISCUSSION ITEMS Over the past few months, the.Planning Commission has identified and.prioritized several planning.issues that it-believes to be central and urgent to the.long-term.health of the City. These priority issues are listed below, and represent the consensus of the members of the Planning Commission: 1. Continued redevelopment of Apache-Plaza; 2. Redevelopment of the St. Anthony Shopping Center, 3. Continued development.of the unique-identity-of the City; 4. Develop new ways to promote maintenance and improvement of the housing stock; and 5. Addition of an Economic Development person to the City staff. • None of these issues are new.to either the-Planning Commission.or to the City Council, and they are among other issues that face the City as well. The-issues above represent issues that the Planning Commission feels are important, urgent, and within the appropriate realm of the-responsibilities of a_Planning Commission. The Planning Commission believes itself.to.be ready, willing,-and able to.lead efforts on the_City's behalf on-some or all of these issues in 1999.- In the past,.the Planning Commission has received mixed messages from.the City Council regarding what role the Planning Commission should-play in these-types of activities. We recognize-that this level of activity by the Commission is-outside the-responsibilities of the Commission in the recent past,.-and-here offer to-take on more-responsibility. If the Council feels that this is inappropriate activity for the Commission, or believes the Commission to be unable or incompetent-to perform.this responsibility, we.-wish to-know this so that we. may limit our work-to being;a..screening tool-for the.Board.of Adjustment and-Review.. We look forward to an open and frank discussion on the Council's wishes on the future role and limits of authority of the City's Planning Commission. •
