AGENDA ITEMS A. TCAAP Master Plan Update Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers and Associates, explained that on August 15, 2016, the TCAAP Master Development Team met in a joint work session with the City Council and the JDA to outline their proposed development of the site. The Master Development Team was in attendance to further discuss the changes to the TCAAP Redevelopment Code and Regulating Plan that may be required for their proposal. Ms. Kvilvang understood the Council had to take in a lot of information at the August 15 meeting and had a number of questions for staff. She reviewed a housing memorandum with the Council, along with a chart for each of the TCAAP neighborhoods. Potential zoning map and text changes were reviewed with the Council. She encouraged the Council not to focus solely on the number of houses, but rather on the overall plan. Bob Lux, Alatus, thanked the Council for their input at the last meeting. He appreciated the ongoing dialogue he and his colleagues have had with the Council and looked forward to gaining additional feedback this evening.
