Commissioner Grant believed there needed to be a lot more discussion on the Solicitation prior <br />to the item being approved by the JDA. <br /> <br />The JDA then reviewed the Solicitation page by page and offered comments and suggestions to <br />staff. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holden questioned how many residents and jobs the County hoped to see <br />through the development of TCAAP. Administrative Director Worthington stated the initial goal <br />for the County was to see 4,000 residents and 4,000 jobs on the site. After holding <br />conversations with developers, the County believes there would be less than 4,000 residents <br />based on census data and forecasts. The numbers have since been adjusted to 3,000 residents <br />and 4,000 jobs. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holden requested that all documents state that the site is also known as <br />“TCAAP”. She believed that the Solicitation should be renamed a Request for Qualifications. <br />Administrative Director Worthington explained the County and City were referring to the <br />document as a Solicitation for a Master Developer and not a Request for Proposals. She <br />understood the document was fairly broad. <br /> <br />The JDA discussed the planning process that would be followed for a developer that submits <br />plans that don’t quiet align with the Master Plan, along with the approval flow chart. <br /> <br />Development Director Hutmacher clarified if the language should read: The site will be <br />developed in substantial conformance to the approved TRC and Master Plan. The JDA was in <br />agreement with this. <br /> <br />Commissioner Grant clarified that the City approved an AUAR that included development <br />scenarios of up to 1,500 units and up to 2,500 units on TCAAP. <br /> <br />Chair Sand asked if the proposed solar array was included within the Solicitation. <br />Administrative Director Worthington reported the solar array was not included. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding the phased approach that would be taken by developers for <br />TCAAP. <br /> <br />Development Director Hutmacher suggested the language regarding this matter read: How <br />would you define or describe a successful development and what are your expectations of the <br />City, County, and JDA to achieve that development? In addition, language would be added <br />regarding the general calendar and significant decision points. The JDA supported this <br />recommended language. <br /> <br />Commissioner Grant was interested in learning more from developers as to their vision for the <br />commercial areas within TCAAP. He asked if the JDA members would be receiving a copy of the <br />solicitations. Administrative Director Worthington reported these would be public documents.
