BACKGROUND
Perkins and Will held a Commercial Site Visioning Joint Session on December 15th, 2020. The consultant
used the information gleaned from the October Charrette activity to develop initial site design and concept
plans. Multiple alternatives were provided for each of the commercial sites. The proposed concepts
incorporated the Charrette insights with market trends and the City’s Land Use Plan. Initial concepts and
the rational for each were presented prior to a group activity. Concept plans were made virtually accessible
via the Miro application. Members of the City Council, Port Authority, and Planning Commission used the
Joint Session place comments/sticky notes on each of the site plans.
At this meeting, the consultants will provide enhanced designs addressing many of the comments from the
December meeting. The January 19th Joint Session will be the final opportunity for the comments and
feedback to be incorporated into the final renderings for the two sites presented. Reviewing sites will be
split between the January and February Joint Session as we approach the final product. Th e January Joint
Session will focus on Site 2 (145th Street) and Sites 3/4 (Akon and Country Road 42). The remaining sites
will be discussed at the February Joint Session meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss any issues regarding the final concept plans for Sites 2, 3, and 4 and provide feedback to Perkins
and Will.
