Attn City Commission and Community Development Board
I would suggest these two public bodies hold at least one meeting (more would be better)
where residents can come and interact with board and commission members and ask questionsand get feedback on the proposed UDC
The formal structure of the public hearings is not working!
People are angry that they have been left out of this whole process. And it's the City's fault.
Their community engagement was totally insufficient, obviously. Residents (taxpayers) seetheir way of life and the neighborhoods they love under threat.
The Community Development Staff need to go back to the drawing board to incorporate the
publics' input AFTER their concerns have been worked through with the Development Board!
This draft is unacceptable to a degree that can't be dealt with in one or two more publichearings and special meetings of the Community Development Board.
Last spring the School Board held a meeting where people could come and talk with members
of the board about different concerns they had. The board set up various tables labeled withdifferent issues where members could come and sit and share concerns regarding those
specific issues.
You can't move forward with things the way they are.
