Memorandum To: Centerville City Council Project: 2008 Comp Plan Update Dato: 4/3/2008 From: Brendon Slotterback Client: City of Centerville Re: Comp Plan Status and Recommended Action File No: 61607157 The purpose of this memo is to describe the status of the Comprehensive Plan Update and to recommend action to be taken by the Centerville City Council to move the plan to the next stage. That recommendation is that the City Council authorize distribution of the Plan for jurisdictional review after any necessary changes are made. Status of the Comprehensive Plan Process At the last meeting of the joint Planning Commission and City Council on March 4, 2008 to review the Comprehensive Plan, the group reviewed the changes that had been made to the plan at their recommendation to bring the plan to a "final draft" state. The changes were approved, and the group was informed that the next step was a public open house, al which the public would be allowed to view the plan and make comments before the plan was approved for jurisdictional review. This open house meeting occurred on March 271h, 2008. Dallas Larson, City Administrator, Mark Statz, Consulting City Engineer, and Brendon Slotterback, Consulting City Planner were in attendance to answer questions and collect feedback. Feedback about the Comprehensive Plan was generally positive, with most attendees simply having questions and not presenting a great deal of feedback. The three feedback worksheets received at the open house and afterwards are attached to this memO. Comments on the sheets dealt with promoting energy conservation in buildings, concern about the slow market affecting retail absorption, and concern that new sidewalks would put undue burden on homeowners. A letter received after the open house dealt with concern that the property at 7124 Main Street be guided Low Density Residential instead of Mixed Use. This letter is also attached to this memo. At the time of the open house, the City also learned that it had received a grant for the building and improvement of the trail network. Some updates to the Parks and Trails map and plan that are part of the Comprehensive Plan were made to indicate future changes. Plannino Commission Action On April 1 ", 2008, the Planning Commission moved to recommend that the City Council authorize the plan for distribution after the changes noted below are made: 1. Change the guiding of the properties at 6882 and 6892 Centerville Road from High Density to Low Density. 2. Change the population projections, net density and other relevant tables and figures in the Plan based on the land use change noted in #1. ..
