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.
