Project Understanding and Approach Continued The BR W approach to drafting and refining the Civic Center zoning ordinance is summarized as follows: . Project Staff: Put the best and most experienced professionals on the project for maximum quality and efficiency. Those who do the work should be those that present the products and interact with SIaff and officials. . Listen: Listen to the client and give them feedback to check what we think we heard. . Working with City Staff: Involve the City stafffrequendy so as to get many mid-course corrections and ensure that their ideas are incorporated. . Coordination with the TC1\AP Framework Plan: Ensure that the new ordinance is true to the goals and other directives of the framework Plan. . Graphics: Use photos and other graphics to explain concepts. Use slides during the presentation to the City Council to explain some of the ideas. . Key Decision Points: Working with City staff, identify the key desired characteristics of the future development early in the process before any ordinance writing begins. Suggest the advantages and disadvantages of each. These characteristics may include: - Land uses - Degree of pedestrian orientation - Density - Degree of architectural design control expected - Degree of ordinance prescriptiveness desired (instead of general guidelines and ad hoc design review) - Whether to make the new district an overlay or a separately mapped disttict - Use of the Special Use Permit provision 37 City of Arden Hills PMnning Services for the Civic Center Zoning District
