HomeMy WebLinkAbout05 - Establishing and Appointing the Committee - Airport Area Development CommitteeREPORT TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Airport Area Development Committee SUGGESTED ACTION: Adopt Resolution 2000 -_, establishing and appointing the Committee. As part of its application to expand its facilities, Conexant has requested a development agreement. In staffs early discussions with Conexant representatives, we were having difficulty identifying meaningful special benefits that could be offered to the City in exchange for the City's long -term commitment to the increased development entitlements being requested. We decided to request assistance from the Planning Commission and City Council, both of whom must review the development agreement before the Council may approve it. After I contacted the Mayor and the Planning Commission Chairman, Gary Adams, Tod Ridgeway, Ed Selich and Larry Tucker were asked to assist staff. Their preliminary discussions with staff and Conexant representatives led to the discussion of Airport Area planning options at the City Council study session of June 13. One of the requests made by Council at that study session was to formalize the committee and provide City Council direction with regard to its responsibilities. The attached resolution appoints a committee composed of two representatives from the City Council and two from the Planning Commission, and gives the committee the responsibility of working with staff and Airport area owners who wish to develop their properties to discuss planning, circulation system improvements and funding mechanisms. A date for the committee to sunset is not proposed, but it may be appropriate for this committee to merge into the General Plan Update Committee (on which the same City Council and Planning Commission members are serving).
