IV. 1989 PLANNING COMMISSION GOALS.
Mrs. Romans said that the Commission is an advisory board responsible for
preparation of the Comprehensive Plan, the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and
the Subdivision Regulations. She referred to a "White Paper" which had been
included in the packet which gave a background to the Commission .
The Commission discussed goals for 1989. Mr. Draper said that an area of con-
cern for him was the intersection at Floyd and Broadway. There is a turn
signal for westbound, but not eastbound traffic.

Mrs. Romans said that one of the projects for this year should be an update of
the Comprehensive Plan. The Commission agreed that updating the plan would
generate other goals for them. Mr. Fish asked for a copy of the Urban Renewal •
Plan. It was suggested that it would be beneficial if there were better coor-
dination between the URA, the Housing Authority and the Commission and that
the Commission should have an opportunity to review the plans of the URA and
Englewood Housing Authority before they are finalized. Mr. Fish said he would
like to see the Commission representative attend URA meetings and have a voice
in any changes of the original plan. The Commission discussed the possibility
of having a meeting with City Council within the next two months.
Mr. Draper said that one of his concerns is junk cars and garbage, in particu-
lar a van which is at Dartmouth and Downing. Enforcement in general was
discussed.
Other goals discussed were transportation for Senior Citizens, pedestrians and
bicyclists; zoning changes; PUD Zones; RTD; the Commission Handbook and Solar
Access.
The goals were put in the following order:
1. The Comprehensive Plan, which would include transportation, a Land
Development Code, Zoning Changes, Architectural Rev~ew, and the develop-
ment of a PUD ordinance and solar access.
2. Areas to be annexed.
3. The Planning Commission Handbook update.
4. Coordination with other boards and commissions.
It was agreed that the members would make a list of ideas, approaches and
schedules and bring them to an orientation meeting on March 22. Of particular
importance at that meeting will be a familiarity with the Comprehensive Plan
in order to assign parts to interested Commissioners who will assume the lead
in reviewing a particular section. Mrs. Romans was asked to invite Assistant
City Attorney Nancy Reid to the meeting on the 22nd, to discuss the role of
the Planning Commission Members.
V. PUBLIC FORUM.
No public was present.
VI. DIRECTOR'S CHOICE.
None.
VII. COMMISSIONERS' CHOICE.
