Title

Special Area Plan for Ironwood Area (NB)

The City Commission referred to the Community Development Committee whether a Special Area Plan should be created for the Ironwood area.  The Committee has discussed the referral, and staff developed a Neighborhood Action Plan for the Ironwood area.

Explanation

On March April 26, 2004, the City Commission referred the issue of whether a Special Area Plan should be created for the Ironwood area.  The Committee met on May 3, 2004, June 24, 2004, August 9, 2004, October 7, 2004, February 17, 2005, and September 15, 2005, and recommended that staff develop a Neighborhood Action Plan funded with neighborhood improvement grants.  On August 9, 2004, the City Commission approved bringing this neighborhood into the Neighborhood Planning Program.   Staff met with Ironwood residents to develop a vision for the area, which involved Ironwood Village's entrance, sidewalks, drainage, safety, and landscaping along Northeast 15^th Street and Northeast 39^th Avenue.  On March 2, 2006, the Community Development Committee received an update from staff on the Neighborhood Action Plan and recommended that this item be removed from the Community Development Committee referral list.

Fiscal Note

$15,000 had been allocated to the Neighborhood Planning program to cover expenses.

Community Development Committee to the City Commission: Remove this item from the Community Development Committee referral list.
