Regarding the question of how to update the refinement plan holistically, the procedure would include the same steps as the current refinement plan amendment process, including public notice, Planning Commission public hearing and recommendation followed by City Council public hearings and decision-making. Assuming the City initiated the amendment, the process itself would take at least 6 months to move through these steps plus time for additional public outreach and participation. As an example, the current amendment request was first submitted 11 months ago. The scope of the task would need to be defined, including a determination of which portions of the plan are to be subject to the amendment. The geographical area to be included (a few particular sites, the nodal area, East Laurel Hill or the entire Laurel Hill Valley neighborhood boundary) would dramatically affect the scope and timeline. Similarly the range of possible neighborhood involvement processes and level of participation would influence the project program. And finally, the plan amendment would require the Council to revisit the Planning Division Work Program and funding for this particular project.
