13.A.2. CHAIRMAN CAROLINE D. GINN – GROWTH TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS Chairman Ginn recounted that it was decided to divide the growth issues so that the Growth Task Force would look at the LDRs and the visioning process would take care of some Comprehensive Plan changes. She requested that the Commission consider each of the GTF’s recommendations as listed in the backup (begin at page 355). She recognized the GTF members present and advised that they have all been invited to participate in the Charette on Saturday (9 a.m.-1 p.m.) at the Richardson Center. The Elected Officials Oversight Committee meets Friday afternoon at the same location. Chairman Ginn called attention to Attachment A (page 356) and reviewed the items listed under Roads/Traffic, explained each one, and advised of the GTF votes. She also referred them to and commented on page 358. Some of the recommendations have already been addressed and some were already in the Code, but staff needs direction on those remaining. A discussion was held on each recommendation. Under Roads/Traffic, it was decided that the Board would affirm those recommendations. (#2, 4, and 5, and leave in #9 and 12 as those two may need tweaking.) Next, Chairman Ginn called their attention to General (#3) on page 356 and it was determined that this sitting Commission did not want to see the urban service area expanded. #13 will require some standards because of the almost tied vote by the GTF members. She reviewed #18 and added #19 advising that the goal is to upgrade US #1 in phases. She felt that all corridors need a plan. As to #29, she recommended this task be given to visioning. With regard to #29, Commissioner Adams thought developers know what the Commission wants after their first talk with staff. Planning Division Director Stan Boling suggested some graphics would be helpful on this item. November 2, 2004 34
