Case manager reports talks on 1202 Connor Lane include potential community center discussions with city manager’s office
Summary
Planning staff said May 19 that efforts were made to facilitate meetings between the applicant for 1202 Connor Lane and community members advocating for a community center; staff have not held a joint meeting and no formal action was recorded.
Planning staff provided an update May 19 on the 1202 Connor Lane matter, saying staff attempted to facilitate discussions between the property applicant and community advocates who want a community center at or related to the site.
The discussion matters to neighbors because the applicant and nearby residents attended the work session and community members have expressed interest in negotiating purchase or use of property for a community center.
Shelby, the case manager on the file, said she tried to facilitate a meeting between the applicant and organizers advocating for a community center and that she was informed a meeting with the city manager’s office was planned to discuss interest. Shelby told the commission she had not received more information since and that no joint meeting with all parties had occurred. Shelby said, in effect, that further details and any negotiations would be addressed by those parties and the applicant.
Bridal Chandler, planning and development director, introduced the item and noted the owner and several nearby neighbors were present at the work session. No motions, votes, or staff direction were recorded during the May 19 update; the report was informational and staff referred specific follow-up questions to the applicant and community representatives.
Background: The staff report on 1202 Connor Lane was updated for the May 19 work session. Commissioners were told to direct substantive questions on the phase or negotiations to the applicant or community advocates because staff had not yet facilitated a full joint meeting.
