Home My WebLink About2017 03-16 PCPTO: The Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Gary Eitel, Director of Business & Development DATE: March 13, 2017 SUBJECT: March 16th Planning Discussion Items Item 7 a) April 5, 2017 Annual Council – Commission Meeting Review and comment on the 2016 development and planning activities PowerPoint Presentation that will be presented by the Chair of the Planning Commission at this joint meeting. Item 7 b) 2020-2040 Comprehensive Planning Process: Attached for your review is a copy of the executive summary of the 2017 City Survey, a telephone survey of 400 randomly selected adult residents residing in the City of Brooklyn Center and the slides that were presented at the February 27th City Council Meeting. I thought this community survey may be a logical starting point for our discussion of the 2010 Planning Issues Map: Activities/Improvements completed Activities/Improvements that are ongoing Activities/Improvements that never started. The identifying a base/starting point in the development of the 2020 Issues Map will assist in the 2017 – 2018 out-reach for public input. The neighborhood park meetings scheduled this year are: Kylwan Park May 18th Orchard Park June 15th East Palmer Lake July 20th Lions Park September 14th. Additional opportunities include Earle Brown Days, Music in the Park events, Neighborhood Out Night, ….. The issues identified will continue to evolve as additional public input is provided. Another planning tool to gain public input would be to have an exhibit that identifies the Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats. Using the Planning Commission and recent Council-retreat (SWOT) analysis as a base, we could get public input that would be helpful in casting a vision for the next planning cycle.
