Alma planning commission adds event‑support actions to master plan; city to start interjurisdictional notices
Summary
City staff reported that the planning commission added an action to supplement event spaces in the commercial district — including potential public restrooms downtown — and outlined a timeline for public notice and final adoption that could reach October after a 63‑day notice period.
City staff told the Alma City governing body that the planning commission completed a final review of the draft master plan on June 2 and added an action item to support event spaces in the commercial district, citing examples such as public restrooms downtown.
Staff said the version of the draft available on the board’s link did not yet include that added action; the updated link will be posted. Staff described the next procedural steps: the planning commission will take final action at its July 7 meeting and then make a recommendation to the governing body. The city may then pass a resolution to release the plan for public notice and authorize Bay Area Direction Development to send notice to neighboring jurisdictions. Staff described a subsequent 63‑day notice period; if the schedule holds, final adoption would be expected in October.
Staff characterized the added item as an additional action to facilitate community events and downtown activation, including support infrastructure such as public restrooms. No formal adoption of the master plan occurred at this meeting; the board received the planning materials and staff described the forthcoming steps and timeline.
Staff asked to proceed with the notice and interjurisdictional notification when the planning commission forwards its recommendation to the governing body.
