Summary

Board members agreed to form a land-use subcommittee to review the Lakeside Boulevard redevelopment plan and open-space/environmental inventory before forwarding recommendations to Highlands/Green Acres and the governing body.

Board members discussed a redevelopment plan for the Lakeside Boulevard corridor and the accompanying open-space recreation plan and environmental resource inventory. A board member recommended creating a small subcommittee to vet engineer recommendations and return a report to the full board rather than reviewing as a full board at first.

Staff and board members emphasized the multi-step review process: land use board recommendations and engineering review will precede submissions to Highlands and Green Acres, and the governing body will review any resulting master-plan amendments. Staff cautioned that adding properties to the RASI can have long-term implications; one staff member warned, “once in the RASI, always in the RASI and the point of no return,” underscoring the need for careful review before making master-plan changes.
