Agenda for Town Center Discussion
ZPC November 9, 2006
1. Review/modify/endorse Potential Objectives from 6/10/2004, revised 10/30/2006
2. Review/modify/endorse proposed resolution providing QPED design guidelines
as revised 10/31/2006. Weigh need for a similar resolution to accompany C-PED
zoning.
3. Decide to move forward on hiring a design/planning firm or on working with
Kirksey pro Bono to produce sketches that show conceptually what the design
guidelines could produce and back-test the guidelines under various conditions.
4. Decide on a plan and timing for a public Town Center Design Workshop
The proposal for discussion is a well publicized and well timed meeting of the
ZPC at which our proposal for the town center would be presented to the public
for their reaction/input/guidance. A facilitator would be employed to take the
lead at the workshop and do the bulk of the work in preparing for it. The
facilitator would work under the guidance of the ZPC and City staff.
Envisioned for the workshop are a PowerPoint presentation to introduce the topic,
outline important objectives, highlight key issues and options, and address the
decisions that need to be made. To stimulate discussion there would be
illustrations of what the town center might look like and photos of other towns
where "desirable" redevelopment with similarities to ours is taking place. Small-
group discussions would be encouraged and breakout guidelines for the workshop
would be part of the facilitator's assignment.
To ensure participation by key stakeholders, personal invitations by ZPC
members to the property owners and nearby residents might be appropriate.
5. Discussion of proposed C-PED zoning regulations (if time permits)
