and neighborhood concepts. Lengthy discussion took place on transportation policies. There was
little consensus on the priorities and the realities of a bypass, bottlenecks and who should pay
for street improvements. Open spaces, facilities/services, environmental protection and planning
process/schedule was discussed for the remaining meeting. Trails, service descriptions and
private property rights were the dominant issues.
Prom this point in the process, it is expected that the subcommittees will generate policies for
the Growth Management Advisory Committee, and a draft set of policies would be presented to
the Planning Commission at its second meeting in August at a second joint workshop. The
Planning Commission can expect to schedule a public hearing on these recommended policies
at its second meeting in September, before it then goes to the City Council for a lengthy public
review time.
