Subject Urban Renewal Plan
I am attaching the latest draft(and likely final) version of the Urban Renewal Plan. The main differences is
it updates the process section to note that the consultation was held, that no comments were submitted by
the taxing entities, that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that it was consistent with the
LUPP, that a new legal description was prepared (a metes and bounds description in addition to the
subdivision and plat of survey descriptions, and that there are new maps.
This item is scheduled for the City Council meeting of January 13. At that time, the Council will conduct a
public hearing and then take action on a resolution adopting the plan, a resolution establishing the urban
renewal district and an ordinance creating the TIF district. If the council only does first reading of the
ordinance, it will be back two weeks later(January 27) and again if needed in February.
Please take a look at the plan and get back to me with any comments. Thank you very much, everyone,
for you help in this.

Further update: The preliminary plat has been submitted to DRC. We will schedule this for the Planning
and Zoning Commission as soon as possible and work to get the preliminary plat and final plat approved
prior to final contract approval for the construction of the improvements in March.
