based), or pop up meetings where information is taken out to 3 or 4 public events/places (i.e. a booth at a community event). PHASE 2 – CONSULT AND COLLABORATE Depending on what role(s) a stakeholder plays in the community (developers, investors, business owners, resident owners, special interest groups, etc.) they will have vastly different levels of interest in the comprehensive plan update. phase 2 of the community engagement process will commence after we have completed a critical review of the vision and guiding principles, prepared technical analysis, explored changes in land use, and established key action steps/strategies. the objective of phase 2 is to present potential changes to the comprehensive plan based on phase 1 input and technical analysis conducted by the consulting team. ideas, concepts, and alternatives will be presented in a way that enables the stakeholders of new brighton to gain ownership in the process and truly embrace the plan as the City’s own plan. topics might include where and how redevelopment might or should occur, strategies for economic development or housing development, or policies geared toward energy efficiency for example. The following represent the components of phase 2: »Use the web site to disseminate information from phase 1 and as a survey mechanism that allows participants to vote on changes to the vision, guiding principles, strategies, concepts, and ideas generated. »Coordination of in-person engagement (workshop, open house format, or pop- up event) to present concepts and ideas and to consult and collaborate with the community on strategies, concepts, and ideas. this in-person approach would be designed to engage the community in conversations on how the vision and guiding principles can be put into action. PHASE 3 – REPORT, DISCUSS, AND AGREE this phase of community engagement will include the following key objectives: reporting out the draft plan; providing opportunities to discuss key elements; and seeking consensus on the overall plan direction. the primary objective in this phase of engagement is to reach general consensus on plan directions. recognizing that not every stakeholder or stakeholder group will be 100% satisfied with 100% of the content of the plan, our goal is to get as close to that as possible. The following represent the components of phase 3: »Use the project web site to post draft materials and employ a simple survey mechanism to gauge public support. »Conduct up to 4 presentations to various stakeholder groups at their regular meetings (i.e. boards, commissions, social/fraternal clubs and organizations, philanthropic or non-profit groups, business groups, others…). City staff may use the presentation materials to conduct additional presentations. a general comment card/form would be provided and people would be directed to the project web site. »have one of the presentations recorded and posted online or run on cable tv. »Conduct public hearing at the planning Commission.
