Staff says 2030-era plan language changed; area plan for Church Street to kick off in coming months
Summary
Staff reported changes to the previous '2030' comprehensive-plan language, thanked the implementation team, and announced an area-planning effort for Church Street and adjacent corridors to begin in January or February with public task-force briefings.
Speaker 3 (role/title unknown) reported that the earlier 2030 plan language was changed (transcript line: "The plan over 2030 was repealed") and thanked staff and partners for recent implementation work. Speaker 3 said the planning team (including NRHA and the Department of Housing and Community Development) will kick off an area plan that will focus on Church Street and the edges that lead into residential neighborhoods and that outreach to task forces and council members is expected in January or February.
Staff framed this as a proactive step to coordinate redevelopment and to provide guidance for ongoing plans for Calvert and Young Terrace. Speaker 3 said the area plan differs from corridor planning undertaken by economic development and emphasized that the commission will be briefed as the outreach schedule is set.
Commissioners encouraged continued engagement and asked for a schedule for meetings so commissioners can participate in implementation and accountability. Staff said many meetings are already on the calendar and that the area-plan task-force sessions will be open to the public. There was no formal action recorded on this item; staff said they will return with more detailed schedules and public-engagement plans.
