Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 23, 2015 Page 31 good reason to reference visioning documents since people put their time and ef- fort into them, and suggested that be taken into consideration as well. Ms. McCormick expressed appreciation for the City Council addressing these long overdue zoning issues; and reiterated her specific request for the neighbor- hood to be involved in the upcoming April 13, 2015 City Council Worksession. Dan Regan, Property owner representative of a 20-acre parcel in Subarea 7 Mr. Regan advised that he had been observing and attending these meetings for several years now, and encouraged everyone to finally resolve these issues and do what they could to make some progress. Mr. Regan agreed with the opinion of Ms. McCormick to have a work session and finally get all opinions out in the open allowing a frank discussion on uses and where they may or may not occur, and those areas where they may occur that may not necessarily be preferred but could be accepted in certain areas. Mr. Regan expressed appreciation for the public input and quantifiable options addressed; however, he respectfully asked that the City Council complete this zoning process allowing the City and developers to stop spinning their wheels. Mr. Regan noted the value in continuing the process and in defining uses for sub- areas and whether or not to allow some uses as a PUD. As touched upon earlier by Mr. Bilotta regarding brownfields, Mr. Regan noted that had a lot to do with the uncertainty of what could or could not be done; and from a developer's per- spective, if there was too much uncertainty they were not going to invest their time and resources in pursuing those opportunities. Mr. Regan encouraged the City Council to make this a priority, which would prove beneficial to all parties, as well as getting it off the City Council's list of pending issues. For clarification, Mayor Roe advised that his comment referenced by Ms. McCormick in an option to expedite the process was only for the purpose of get- ting a sense as to any level of support from the City Council, which he did not find. Mayor Roe clarified that he was not suggesting in any way that the public process be bypassed, and was only seeking a consensus of the City Council. As to the April 13, 2015 City Council Worksession, Mayor Roe advised that more discussion and time was needed by staff and the City Council to determine their next step before seeking public input in a work session format. However, Mayor Roe recognized the value of such a discussion and open dialogue, noting the dif- ferent ways to get that input, whether through workshops with active public par- ticipation of through opportunities to seek broader community input. While a work session may be part of that process, Mayor Roe noted the need for the City to figure out that process. Councilmember McGehee expressed her willingness to make herself available for a special session upon receipt of timely responses from staff on next steps, and
