Financial Impact: Significant. As an internally led project, the City will realize significant savings <br />on a long -overdue process that would otherwise cost tens of thousands of <br />dollars to complete. Furthermore, having a clear and concise zoning <br />ordinance will make New Brighton more attractive to existing and prospective <br />residents and businesses, thereby improving the City's position in relation to <br />competing metropolitan cities. <br />Summary: The Annotated Outline for the Zoning Code Update project established the <br />overall roadmap the City will follow to update its zoning ordinance. The <br />timeline is expected to be fluid as completing this project is subject to <br />available staff time (which will be dictated by circumstances out of our <br />control such as how many applications are received in a given month, the <br />need to respond to COVID-related matters, higher -priorities identified by the <br />City Manager & Council, etc). <br />At this time, new Council members are asked to become familiar with the <br />Annotated Outline document in its currently approved form, and recommend <br />desired updates or additions. Staff will also present our thoughts regarding <br />the formation of a steering committee to be a sounding board for proposed <br />updates and changes. The desired committee would include representatives <br />from Council and our Commissions, and would be filled out by citizens who <br />provide needed perspectives not offered by elected and appointed <br />participants. Authorization to proceed with forming the steering committee <br />will also be sought. <br />Attachments: 1) Approved Annotated Outline <br />2) Draft Zoning Code Outline <br />3) HKGI Draft Work plan - Silver Lake Road Outreach <br />4) Updated Flexible Project Schedule <br />:/ :bl <br />Ben Gozola, AICP <br />Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development <br />
