ITEM TYPE: Consent Action Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Richardson, Walker, Rosenberg, Herrick, Filardo, Rapp
PRESENTER (S): Rapp
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: In 2015, the Places29 Community Advisory Committee (CAC) was divided into three separate sub-committees: Places29-Hydraulic, Places29-Rio, and Places29-North. The current alignment of the Places 29 Hydraulic sub-Committee extends beyond Route 29 and down portions of Rio Road. The 29 Solutions road project constructed a grade separated interchange at Route 29, establishing a more significant barrier between these two neighborhoods. Since that time, several planning studies have also been completed, including the Rio29 Small Area Plan and the Rio Road Corridor Study. Additionally, multiple new developments have been approved and/or completed within each sub-committee area that have impacted the character of each of these neighborhoods.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Engaged Citizens - Successfully engage citizens so that local government reflects their values and aspirations.
DISCUSSION: The attached draft boundary map (Attachment A) reflects proposed changes between the Places29 -Hydraulic and Places29-Rio sub-Committees to better align with magisterial districts and existing neighborhoods. These proposed changes would acknowledge Route 29 and the grade separated interchange at Rio Road as the division line between these two sub-Committees. Additionally, the Lambs Lane Campus has been included in the Places29-Hydraulic area to foster continued engagement with the community regarding the recently completed campus master plan. These changes would allow the Places29-Hydraulic sub-Committee to focus on proposed developments and master plan elements west of Route 29, while allowing Places29-Rio sub-Committee to focus on proposed developments and master plan elements east of Route 29. Minor revisions have also been proposed for language regarding membership to match language of other CAC’s.
BUDGET IMPACT: No budget impact would be associated with this boundary amendment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
