City Council Meeting

Jackson Barlowof this is to deploy the model, use the model in determining what those infrastructure needs are to support the small area plans which have already been gone through and been adopted. So that is a third piece of the project. So we are looking at the following infrastructure categories. And so when we talk about infrastructure, we're talking about schools, parks and rec, police facilities, fire and rescue facilities and apparatus and transportation, not just, you know, not beyond the utilities and transportation. So our infrastructure is all of the capital facilities that a city provides and then general government facilities as well. So just kind of high level, we're going to look at current city levels of service.

Thomas Petersonpotential and good reason to take a hard look at a commercial option here. So I, again, appreciate that you all have looked at the small area plans, but I think that there's a lot of flexibility in them that can be aligned with broader objectives of the city as we go forward. Thanks. Other

Thomas PetersonWell, again, reaching back to the earlier feedback that I think we all heard there in the comments on the last applicant, we have small area plans and comprehensive plans. There's flexibility within them, so there are alternatives, you know, that are reflective of that. When we make decisions to put in one type of development, it forecloses the opportunity to do other things. In this case, if we decide to put in a residential development here, it forecloses the opportunity for the kind of commercial development that I think many people were interested in when we last talked. My own thought would be it would be probably great to reconsider along those lines as we go forward. Council Member Bates?
