Community Development Committee -Addition of Referrals: Growth Management Issues (B)
This item involves a recommendation by the Community Development Committee to add several referrals to the Committee's referral list
Explanation
At its regular meeting on July 13, 2009, the Community Development Committee recommended that several referrals be added to the Committee's pending referral list dealing with growth and development in East Gainesville and with respect to the perimeter of the City's incorporated limits.
A memo on this matter was prepared by Committee Chair Commissioner Thomas Hawkins and forwarded to the Committee's staff liaison. The proposed referrals to be examined over the next year are:
· Developing a plan to build out sidewalks and make other road improvements throughout the portion of the City annexed in 1905;
· Developing a plan to build out utility infrastructure to support development of the allowable density in a few small, urbanized areas of the City, such as Five Points;
· Creating a vision of the City's future transit system to synthesize the concurrency management program, Gainesville's future land use map and the Bus Rapid Transit initiatives of RTS and Alachua County's Long Term Concurrency Management System; and,
· Analyze existing plans and policies designed to establish and maintain a greenbelt around the City of Gainesville's incorporated perimeter
