Just a reminder that P&D will take public comment on the revised Downtown Plan at its meeting on Monday, Nov. 24 in Council Chambers.
P&D will also hold a special meeting on Thursday, Dec. 4, to discuss the Downtown Plan. It is unclear whether public comment will also be taken on this date.
For those interested in the 708 Church Street Tower proposal, please be aware that the status of the Fountain Square Block in the revised Downtown Plan is still unclear.
After the lengthy Central Street Plan process, a few of the Neighbors became interested in the development of the Downtown Plan, which is purported to be an update to the 1989 plan. The latest version of the Downtown Plan, dated Nov.10, 2008, was presented to the Planning & Development (P&D) Committee on the tenth. Future meetings on the subject will be held on Nov. 24 and Dec. 4, 2008 with the Dec. 4 meeting a special session that will hear public comments. It is not clear whether the Nov. 24 meeting will take public comments, but it surely will include P & D discussion.
