Motion to Accept the "Master Plan for the New Lake Johanna Boulevard" Community Development Director James Lehnhoff reviewed the process that was used to reach the development of the master plan. Mr. Bill Weber, representing McCombs Frank Ross Associates (MFRA), presented a PowerPoint presentation regarding the master plan and detailing specific points of the project and proposed improvements. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated that on private property the plan would be market driven and the City is not going to remove any businesses. The plan is a concept for future development or if the current buildings plan improvements there would be specific design expectations for those improvements. He also stated that the design standards presented would not be copied directly into the zoning code and any zoning code changes would need to be brought to the Planning Commission and the Council for approval and a public hearing. Mayor Harpstead stated that this was an opportunity for the City to bring new life into this area of the City and that it is driven by the private sector. He also thanked the members of the B2 Steering Committee for their hard work in getting this plan put together. Councilmember Holden asked if Council would be accepting the plan and what that would mean.
