Home My WebLink AboutPB 20080624PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING BOARD After Action June 24, 2008 I. Discussion of Planning Issues Growth Management — Progress Report Planning Staff gave an overview of what will be discussed at the City Commission Workshop on Growth Management on July 14, 2008 at 4:00 P.M. Planning/Growth Management consultants were commissioned to study growth patterns and further develop a system to evaluate the impact of development in the City and to lay out findings and policy options and recommendations for adoption by the Commission. The study deals with quality of life issues addressing the perception that growth in the City is still increasing. Proposals similar to the current requirement for developments over 50,000 square feet in certain zoning districts to obtain Conditional Use approval will be analyzed. After adoption, Phase 2 of this effort will involve the development of ordinances and Comprehensive Plan Amendments. Analysis of baseline data has found that there is still available FAR in the City in underdeveloped sites. The impact on transportation is at the forefront of these efforts. Measures being studied include improving transit services and techniques to enhance alternative modes of transportation and how to fund them. One of the objectives is to better link development to mitigation. and more immediate, localized improvement. Other considerations include school enhancement programs, compatibility within the context of neighborhoods, workforce housing, and the codification of requirements for more standardization. At the workshop Public Works Department staff will be presenting findings of the Coastal Community Transportation Study, which also deals with these issues. Chair Kruszewski asked if the Growth Management report could include a breakdown by sub areas in the City. Planning Board members were urged to attend the workshop. Planning staff will make the presentation on behalf of the consultants. The expectation is that the City Commission will give direction to refine recommendations, which are likely to go before the Land Use Committee and the Planninq Board for further input. Application forms There was an internal discussion regarding ways that the Planning Board conducts meetings focusing on completeness of applications. Issues included discretion given to the Planning Director as to the completeness of applications that are included in the docket for PB members to consider. There was consensus that the process is improving. Planning Department staff will be making extra efforts to ensure that applications are as complete as possible. Further, Mr. Stolar will receive application forms in advance of the other PB members so he can review them for completion as per his wishes. After Action report — May 27, 2008 meeting Vote: 7-0.
