Title
Discuss future Planning and Zoning Commission retreat.
Body
BACKGROUND:
In order to assist staff with preparing for the Planning and Zoning Commission’s retreat, staff seeks feedback from the Commission regarding the following items:
• Length of retreat (full day versus half day)
• Day of week (weekday versus Saturday; if it is a weekday event then preferred weekdays)
• Topics that may be of interest; and
• Possible tour locations (within DFW area).
To assist the Commission with providing potential retreat content feedback, staff has identified the following topics below that may be of interest to the Commission:
• Tour of projects under construction within Farmers Branch
• Tour of area mixed-use developments (Design District/Hi-Line area, Uptown, Addison Town Square, Legacy West/Legacy Town Center, CityLine)
• Tour of highway corridors in which recent corridor studies have been completed
• Briefings related to highway corridor studies (i.e. Richardson, Garland)
• Placemaking
• Economics of place
• Permeable pavement presentation and related tour (Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission provide feedback related to the upcoming retreat content and scheduling.
