APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE SPIN STANDING COMMITTEE
o Why make changes every four years?
o Can we define what a Land Use Plan is — Plan and zoning that exists at same time
and don't always co -exist.
o Why would this approach be more enforceable than current document?
■ Commentary from Audience
o Conrads: Charter requires plan updates. Staff wants to look at plan "holistically"
LUP and MTP. Do the LUP review the right way.
o Francis: Would like to have documented issues from last update present here.
o Walker: Master Thoroughfare Plan can be the driving force for Land Use Plan, if
there is control on what the roads are, then some of the development issues on
adjacent property may be answered.
o Morin: Committee makeup will be critical — if perceived as a one-sided group, it
will become problematic. Critical that committee be open to all points of view.
o White: How will decision be made on committee?
Agenda Item No. 6, Update on Proposed Package of Amendments to the Master Thoroughfare
Plan — This item was moved back on the agenda:
• Senior Planner Ken Baker presented the following information:

2. Focus of Plan: Arterials, Collectors
3. Reasons for Approach: Employment Centers increase in future and increase
projections
4. Mobility Plan: Concepts including arterials, regulation of parking, urban design
features, and residential street designs were raised. Cornelius question: Are we
looking at future development only or also retrofitting? Commentary from Walker: Is
it possible for 1709 to become a boulevard? Prioritization of sidewalk planning.
Connectivity/Alternative Transportation Items

o Project Boulevard/Kirkwood
o Funnel Project (October SPIN)
