FROM: Peggy A. Reichert r��. Deputy Directo for Planning ,,�� evG '� %q� Department of lanning and Economi����E���opme� DATE: March 23, 1988 S ,��� C�t�� •�� SUBJECT: Robert - Concord 40 cre Study Request `g``! My staff has informed me that tw weeks ago, during a public hearing to rezone property located on the city's w st side at Congress and Robert Streets, discussion occurred which inclu d reference to conducting a 40 acre study for the surrounding area. As you may remember, the Counci and the Planning Division had lengthy discussions about the need for process to initiate 40 acre studies. From those discussions we establishe a procedure by which the Council would not only initiate a request for a s udy but also help the Planning Division determine its priority among th many studies already established. I have enclosed a draft resolut on initiating the study you requested as well as a copy of the original proce ures we agreed upon for determining zoning study priorities. I suggest th t this particular 40 acre study be considered by the Housing and Economic Dev lopment Committee and be determined to be a Priority 3, long range planning and land use related study. A determination of Priority 1 or 2 may, in this case, pre-empt the district plan review and amendment process that WESCO ha recently started.

Reichert . Deputy Director fo Plann ng � Re: Zoning Study Pria�ities At recent a�eetings of both the L gislation Conmittee and the City Development Committee. we discussed �y need o obtain some advice from the Council in deciding priorities among the va ious requests for zoning-retated studies received by the Planning Oivisio . The City Council and the Plannin Con�r►ission both have the legal authority to initiate zoni�g studies. Be re eithe� body initiates a study. two questions should De addressed: 1. Does the City Council (o the Planning Comnission) as a whole perceive � the issue as significa�t 2. Are zoning regulations a suitable method for responding to the issue? If the Council (or Planning Com ission) answers "yes" to both of these questions. then the staff r+ould like your guidance as to the study's priority. 3. what priority should be iven to this study in relation to all the other studies unde n+ay o pending? -Both the Legislative and City D velopment Committees generally endorsed a new process through which the C ty Council would address these questions whenever a zoning-related study is initiated by the Council.: 1. City Councilmember initi tes resolution for 40-Acre Study/ . Code Amendment and provi es memo describing background and reasons for the amendmen , problems to be solved, etc. (cc to Planning Division . 2. City Council refers reso ution to City Development Committee. 3. City Development Conmit e considers: - - Resolution and Cou ilmember's memo - Planning Division esponse in memo form and decides: - Should 40-Acre Stu y be initiated? - Priority to be giv n to it (recommended to Mayor) 4. City Council acts on Co ittee reco� ,endation. � �� �- � , 1,���v . Members of Lity Counctl 2 Oecember 19, 1986 Re: Zoning Study Priorities I think there Mas 9eneral •gree�ent th t Me need to Aave iaore discussion between the Council as a whole and the staff concerning the nature of the probtem, the sense of urgency among th rhole Council , a realistic appraisal of the role of =oning vis-a-vis the pa ticular issue, etc. before a 40-acre study is endorsed Oy the Council and s nt to staff to complete. � Regarding criteria to determine priorities, I share Nith you both my proposed evaluation criteria and my ranking of zoning studies currently on the request list. " Priorit Cri_ teria Priority 1: Critical a. Studies critical to other �na�or ity pro�ects (or other governmental agencies) with a deadline ' b. Ma�or netghborhood conce�n invol ing pending development Priority 2: Essential a. Studies committed to by adopted lans b. Broad impact geographically or o general government effectiveness/efficiency Priority 3: Somewhat O�tional , a. Long range planning/land use-re ated D. Not critical , but nagging type roblem c. Minor. non-controversial . house eeping In general, studies M►ould be initia ed in order of their priority. 7here would be two caveats to this. firs , staff availability: A simple Priority � 3 Study may be initiated Decause r+e have someone available to do it - perhaps even an intern or a �unior staff inember; whereas, a more complex Priority 1 0� 2 Study may have ta ait for the right staff person with the � necessary expertise to do the �ob. Second, I believe we sfiould commit to finishing studies that are substan ially underway before we take on a new pro�ect and drop or postpone work n process. When we drop projects, we lose a great deal of the momentum and i sight; we become very inefficient.
