• Meeting Date-~7~7$$
a. General Plan Update (to be completed later this year including Growth
Management Element);
b. Public Facility Program and Phasing (Master Plans for transportation,
drainage and sewer to be completed in FY 88-89);
c. Quality of Life Threshold Standards (adopted by Council on
November 17, 1987);
d. Public Financing Program; and
e. Development Monitoring and Control System (including computerized
tracking of development and public facility construction).
Some of the above elements are already completed or scheduled for
completion this calendar year. The major work items to be prepared under
this contract will be:
a. Growth Management Element for General Plan;
b. Public Financing Program;
c. Public Facility Program and Phasing;
• d. Development Monitoring System;
e. Program Implementation Policies and Procedures.
In addition to the Growth Management Program, a contract to prepare Phase
II of the Public Facilities Plan will be forthcoming during the next
several months. Phase II will consist of a detailed Master Plan of
Drainage facilities and Master Plan of Sewerage Facilities for the City.
Phase I of this work is nearing completion and it is contemplated that the
current contractor will carry out Phase II.
It is also worth noting that the Growth Management Oversight Committee is
in the process of being estasblished. A Notice of Vacancy has been posted
and letters have been sent out to civic organizations advising of
available seats. Replies are due back April 1, 1988. This new Committee
would be well suited to provide citizen input to the consultant team
preparing the Growth Management Program.
3. Conclusion
The proposed Growth Management Work Program is expected to require 9 to 12
months for completion of draft products with additional time, as required,
for public review. Staff would anticipate periodic conference with the
Planning Commission and City Council to provide program direction.
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated total project cost is $150,000. Funds have
been budgeted in the FY 87-88 Capital Improvements Program Budget for this
project.
