On February 22, 1996, planning staff was invited to a <br />coalition meeting to discuss the adopted Wabasso Corridor Plan and <br />to discuss the potential of developing a SR 60 corridor plan. <br />At that meeting, staff provided an overview of the Wabasso Corridor <br />Plan, and informed the group that, at the time that the Board of <br />County Commissioners directed staff to develop the Wabasso Corridor <br />Plan, the Board also confirmed its support for a SR 60 Corridor <br />Plan. Staff also told the coalition that, from the time that the <br />Wabasso Corridor Plan took shape in the summer and fall of 1995, <br />staff has applied some of the Wabasso Corridor Plan design <br />principles to new commercial development along SR 60 west of 43rd <br />Avenue (see attachment #1), .based on the pending ordinance <br />doctrine. Staff informed the coalition that, in essence, an <br />informal SR 60 Corridor Plan is in place. <br />The chairman of the SR 60 West _Coalition,, Tom_ Foster, has now <br />written a letter requesting that the Board develop and adopt a <br />formal corridor plan for SR 60 (see attachment #2). <br />ANALYSIS: <br />*Corridor Plan Substance <br />For many years, SR 60 has been recognized as a major entrance into <br />the county, and for over 20 years the county has applied a special <br />54 <br />April 9, 1996 <br />
