JOINT CITY COUNCIL/PLANNING COMMISSION DINNER/WORK SESSION <br /> <br />Abe Farkas, Director of the Planning and Development Department, gave a brief <br />introduction. He said the Planning Commission met on June 20, 1989, to <br />prioritize and finalize its work program. He said the Planning Commission <br />has a very full schedule and there are a number of groups who would like to <br />add items to the commission's work program. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson said that in forming its work program, the commission tried to <br />meet adopted City goals and policies, as well as take concerns of the City <br />Council into consideration. She said the commission is trying, on one hand, <br />to meet the needs of developers, and to deal with the current development <br />activity. On the other hand, the commission is trying to balance this <br />demand-driven planning with a long-range perspective. Ms. Nathanson said <br />long-range planning is very important for the City and results in better land <br />use decisions. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson said a large number of the commission's high priority work <br />items are Metro Plan-related. She said the Lane Transit District (LTD) <br />Downtown Station Relocation Study is the only new high priority item on the <br />work program. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson said at the request of the Fairmount Neighborhood Association, <br />the commission added "University Area Issues" to its list of medium-priority <br />work items. She said the neighborhood association had hoped for more, but <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MINUTES--City Council/Planning Commission-- <br />Dinner/Work Session <br /> <br />May 22, 1989 <br /> <br />Page 1 <br />
