Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 13,2015 Page 25 From his point of view, Mayor Roe asked that the starting point be some synthesis by subareas, providing a broad discussion overall in that same discussion, but broken down versus jumbling them all together, which could create more wheel spinning. Mayor Roe stated that he was supportive of the initial discussion on May 4 and subsequent decisions or direction coming out of that first meeting. Af- ter that, Mayor Roe advised that he anticipated neighborhood or community workshops to obtain their feedback prior to a public hearing at the Planning Commission level, in an effort to keep the public in touch throughout the process. As mentioned by Councilmember Laliberte, Mayor Roe noted that the process for this line of discussion needed to ensure the public was not surprised by the pro- cess, a key for what the City Council was attempting to accomplish. Mr. Bilotta duly noted this direction. Councilmember Etten advised that he agreed with the points brought forward, opining there was significant discussion needed about the various zones. Coun- cilmember Etten expressed appreciation for the timetable developed by staff over the next few months, as well as discussion points without formal Council action dates identified. Councilmember Etten spoke in support of addressing zoning by subarea versus the general Twin Lakes area, allowing everyone to zero in on par- ticular areas. While many things will end up at the Planning Commission, Coun- cilmember Etten noted that also allowed for additional input; however, he clari- fied that he was not looking for any immediate or final decisions early on in the process. Councilmember McGehee offered her agreement with the comments of Mayor Roe, supporting breaking down discussion to permitted or not permitted uses per subarea. Based on use discussion in the past, Councilmember McGehee opined that it was necessary to figure out how to move more uses in those subareas. Councilmember McGehee stated that she was having a hard time envisioning or understanding the columns and permitted uses, and how to mold that into a way that was visibly understandable while addressing each subarea in that table of us- es. Mr. Bilotta noted that, until City Council discussions were held, staff had not yet scheduled any community meetings; and since there was no City Council Worksession scheduled in May, there may only be a short time on May agendas to have that discussion. Therefore, Mr. Bilotta anticipated meeting with neigh- bors in June to receive their input. Mayor Roe noted that the table of uses would probably include columns for each subarea for what it is now, what was considered or discussed before, feedback re- ceived to-date, and a proposed decision.
