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.
