Discussion Summary

1.	The Advance Plans Committee approved the minutes of the October 9, 2008 
Committee meeting.

2.	Scott Knebel explained that the Committee will be working on three key areas over 
the next couple of meetings: refining the Land Use Categories; refining the Land Use 
Guide Map; and developing a set of Locational Guidelines. 

3.	The Committee proceeded to review the Land Use Categories and their associated 
definitions.  It was decided that the gross density of 6 dwelling units per acre referred 
to in the definition of ‘Low Density Residential’ needs to be reevaluated, as it does 
not appear to reflect existing densities of development.  It was agreed that there may 
be merit in combining the ‘Medium Density Residential’ and ‘High Density 
Residential’ categories. It was also agreed to expand the list of uses in the ‘East Bank 
River Center’ definition to include mixed-use, pedestrian oriented residential 
development.

4.	The Committee proceeded to review the delineation of the various land use categories 
depicted on the Land Use Guide Map.  The following changes were agreed to: 
*	Expand the East Bank River Center Area westward to Wichita Street and south 
to Lincoln Street;
*	Eliminate the Residential Redevelopment Area designation south of Gilbert and 
expand that designation area eastward to ˝ block east of Market, and also to 
include a small, one-block wide area located west of the Commercial Area along 
Broadway;
*	Extend the Commercial Area designation southward along Broadway as far as 
Boston Street, to replace areas currently shown as either Mixed Use Commercial 
or Commercial Redevelopment Node;
*	Replace existing Mixed Use Commercial designations along Harry and Pawnee, 
east of Broadway and west of Mead with Commercial designation;
*	Replace existing Mixed Use Commercial designation along Harry, east of Mead 
with an Industrial designation.

5.	 The Committee agreed to review the above-recommended Land Use Guide Map 
changes at the next Committee meeting on December 4, 2008, along with the 
proposed Land Use Category changes discussed earlier. 

6.	The Committee was briefed by Scott Wadle regarding the current status of the Draft 
PROS Plan.  A discussion followed regarding the funding implications associated 
with the priorities identified in the PROS Plan.  Janet Miller, Park Board Chair, 
commented that the Plan is a future guide and vision for the resources that are 
available – funding must follow the Plan goals and vision, not the other way around. 
Citizens will need to prioritize future funding options and allocations.  The time is not 
right at the moment to figure out the funding mechanism as part of this PROS Plan 
initiative.

7.	Meeting adjourned at 9:40 a.m.
