Agenda Review An additional item, the Northwest Quadrant Master Plan, was added to the agenda. Northwest Quadrant Master Plan Bishop referred to the handouts provided to the Commission. The Economic Development Commission (EDC) is beginning to study the redevelopment issues in the Northwest Quadrant. Bishop briefly reviewed the handout materials and asked the Planning Commission for comments on the alternatives outlined in the handout. Baker said he would prefer a plan brought forth by a developer because a developer would understand the market. A plan developed by the staff and commissions would be a waste of effort. Zisla agreed that a developer would have the experience and know the risks. Zisla stated he could not even imagine the City taking that kind of control. Schmitz asked about the staff’s opinion on taking control of the entire project. Bishop answered that staff felt it would be exciting to have the entire project under City control.
