The plan will focus on five topic areas—Land Use, Transportation, Economic Development, Parks and Natural Resources, and Community. This work session will focus on the results from the Policy Development phase. Staff is requesting City Council feedback on the draft goals and policies included in Attachment A. Council is asked to approve the draft goals and policies as a platform for moving into the Action Planning phase. A complete plan with goals, policies and actions will be brought to Council for a formal adoption process in late fall. <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND The neighborhood planning project is divided into key phases, with frequent opportunities for Council to learn about the project along the way. The Reaching Out, Visioning and Neighborhood <br />Priorities phases of the project were completed between October 2017 and August 2018. Council received updates from these phases in March and November 2018. Starting in fall 2018, the Policy <br />Development phase has been led by Community Advisory Committee members and working group members, with support from project staff and a Technical Advisory Committee. <br />Project Phases <br /> <br /> <br />Reaching Out Neighborhood <br />Visioning <br />Neighborhood <br />Priorities <br />Policy <br />Development <br />Action <br />Planning Adoption
