Overview: Staff would like to share a status update with Council about the progress made since the January 5, 2022 Council work session. During that work session, Council requested that staff work with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the contracted consultant team for Transit Oriented Development Planning and Unified Development Ordinance Visioning, and Business Street, the contracted consultant for the Housing Capacity Analysis & Community Dialogue initiative, to integrate the two project approaches. 

Staff have since held several meetings with both consultants, including a joint coordination meeting, to:

•                     assist with the scoping of the Housing Capacity Analysis,

•                     establish joint baseline analyses,

•                     align project schedules and engagement opportunities,

•                     and discuss shared principles.

The goal of the Council discussion will be to share an update on the TOD + UDO project and Town Council decision touchpoints.

The Council will also receive an update on upcoming public engagement for the TOD portion of this initiative and next steps.

Recommendation(s):

That the Council receive the presentation and provide feedback.
