CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
July 2, 2001 ~
6A . ~
Frank Boyles, City Manag~
AGENDA ITEM: Presentation: Downtown District Zoning Ordinance Status Report (Augie
Wong, URS/BRW)
DISCUSSION: History: Downtown Redevelopment has been a City priority for some years now.
Last year, Hoisington Koegler completed a Downtown Redevelopment Study
which explored three themes for the development of Downtown, set forth
proposed allowable uses, and discussed design criteria. The Council reviewed
the document and directed that the Lake theme be used, that allowable uses be
refined and development standards be established. The staff has been working
with the consulting firm of URS/BRW to develop criteria and ordinance language.
Current Circumstances: Augie Wong, representing URS/BRW will provide a
presentation to the City Council outlining their progress to date in preparing the
requested amendments to the City's Zoning Ordinance which will identify
graphically and in narrative from the specific requirements for Downtown
redevelopment.
Conclusion: Mr. Wong would like to solicit the Council's input to assure that
URS/BRW's efforts will address the Council's desires. A final draft ordinance is
expected to be ready for Planning Commission hearings late in July.
