<br />EWEB’s conceptual master plan. It is intended to achieve a balance between certainty and flexibility in <br />the redevelopment process; to support the appropriate enhancement of riverfront habitat; and to promote <br />a mix of uses that complement and support existing downtown and riverfront uses. <br /> <br />Additional background information, analysis and findings regarding the various land use applications <br />(listed above) will be provided in the agenda packets for future public hearings and work sessions on <br />this item. This includes a Planning Commission public hearing and recommendation, as well as a public <br />hearing and deliberation by the City Council to consider the merits of the request, before making a <br />decision on the matter. Findings providing a detailed analysis of the proposal relative to the applicable <br />approval criteria will also be provided in conjunction with future packets. <br /> <br />As you are aware, the City and EWEB have had recent discussions about whether the City has any <br />potential interest in acquiring a portion of the riverfront site. The proposed initiation would not affect <br />the City’s or EWEB’s position with respect to those discussions. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />This item is a request to initiate land use code amendments only, and not to consider the merits of the <br />proposal.
