For our next meeting there is one significant item on the agenda and that is to take input on what the process should be in determining the vision for the city owned downtown lot where all of the festivals are held. The Council may then provide direction to staff in order to move the process forward.
Staff is presenting three options and approximate times and costs to complete:
- Hold public meetings with the Planning Commission and City Council only (3-6 months)
- Community Meetings with consultant resource and public meetings with the Planning Commission and City Council (6-12 months and $12K - $15K)
- Community Meetings and Charette Sessions with consultant resources and public meetings with the Planning Commission and City Council (12-18 months and $34K - $50K)
Time is a consideration as Sacramento is making overtures to claim unused land and force housing on it.
If you have any thoughts or questions, please let me know.
