RHRA Meeting Minutes – Monday, August 29, 2016 Page 35 As seconder of the motion, President Roe responded that, yes it was, and could be done with a process similar to that used when rezoning the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area, with at least one discussion laying out options, and then considering different segments versus the whole and providing an opportunity for input. However, President Roe stated that wouldbe his estimation in supporting the current motion, since the City Council directs the Planning Commission on public hearings for any rezoning and comprehensive plan designation prompted by the city. President Roe noted that would involve an open house, not just a public hearing, However, President Roe opined an open house would be totally inadequate for this issue, and should be a more involved process. President Roe also noted the difference in a consultant-driven or facilitated discussion versus the Twin Lakes model that was staff-driven. President Roe further noted a difference in this situation and previous appraisals on property ordered by the city, was that those properties had already been identified as part of the Park Renewal Program and funded through that park bonding program. While this was an opportunity for the city, President Roe opined that the rest of the pieces were not available to take advantage of the opportunity at this time. President Roe further opined that his understanding of the School District’s point of view and even having that additional community conversation would get the city past this initial concern. Member Laliberte requested amendment to the motion, for clarification and agreed to by the maker and seconder of the motion, restated as follows: Willmus moved, Roe seconded, directing staff to NOT pursue acquisition of 211 N McCarrons Boulevard; and further directing staff to initiate a full community engagement as outlined broadly in this discussion for a community-based rezoning process to survey members of that area as to what they would like to see that property zoned going forward.
