_______________________________________________________________________
The Planning Board has previously approved and sent to the City Commission a
Memorandum concerning its preliminary thoughts with regard to a new growth policy for
the City. A copy of this Memo is enclosed.
To advance work on the growth policy, the Planning Board needs to provide direction on
policy update goals, outreach strategy, and timelines. To assist this process, the growth
policy subgroup has developed the following draft documents, copies of which are also
enclosed:
A framework document which contains background information and provides
some general directional guidelines;
A preliminary set of major questions to ask the community during the outreach
process; and
A timeline for the project that describes an outreach approach.
These three draft proposals contain our recommendations regarding the goals, timeline,
and outreach strategy for the growth policy. We present these proposals to the Planning
Board for its review and ratification.
