Summary
Planning staff announced two workshops on the Plan2045 economic development element (Dec. 9, Dec. 11), online business and resident surveys, and summarized an HDR open house on the Russian River and Sergeant Creek bridge studies; staff also noted assembly approval of a childcare code amendment and an upcoming discussion on parking requirements for assembly uses.
Planning staff provided several informational updates at the Nov. 19 meeting.
Staff said the Plan2045 comprehensive‑plan project will host two workshops on the economic development element — Dec. 9 (10 a.m.–2 p.m.) and Dec. 11 (6–8 p.m.) in Assembly Chambers — and that staff circulated online surveys for businesses and residents; survey access information is posted on the Plan2045 website and the surveys remain open through December. Staff also summarized an HDR‑held open house (Nov. 4) on the Russian River and Sergeant Creek bridge replacement study, reporting robust attendance and substantive public input on flooding and bridge concerns.
Staff noted the assembly approved a childcare‑related Title 17 code amendment at its Nov. 6 meeting; the planning commission received supportive comments from assembly members. Finally, staff raised that parking requirements for assembly uses (calculated by seating) create application challenges when seating is not fixed; staff will bring a draft business item and a work‑session discussion to the commission in December to consider alternatives such as square‑footage‑based standards.
