the City Center Community Plan contains goals and strategies to
IN THE COMMITTEE
accomplish those goals over a twenty year horizon. The City
RECOMMENDATION
Center Community Plan Advisory Board was tasked with making
recommendations to the Council regarding which strategies
should be prioritized and implemented through departmental
work programs. The City Center Community Plan Advisory Board
has made recommendations in 2013 and 2016. One of the
implementation strategies in the plan was to "Create a
greenway/promenade between the Cedar River and N 1st
Street" (Goal 8.3). Residents of that area have expressed
concerns about how this strategy might be implemented. In
response to this concern, the Board has made two
recommendations regarding this goal/priority. The Planning and
Development Committee has reviewed the recommendations
and directs staff --beginning in 2017--to develop a work program
that engages the public so the community can participate in an
actionable plan for this policy. The work plan will take into
account the likely redevelopment of 200 Mill and the potentially
significant changes within the Civic Node, and its potential
impact on the surrounding neighborhood. The Committee
further directs staff to hold a public hearing to consider
adoption of a revision to the strategy 8.3.1: "Complete a
detailed implementation strategy for the greenway/promenade
based on the conceptual design" to add the statement: "The
City shall not utilize Eminent Domain in furtherance of this
strategy".

that in order to ensure the Benson Hill Community Plan is
IN THE COMMITTEE
implemented and successful, the City created the Benson Hill
RECOMMENDATION
Community Plan Advisory Board. The Board was tasked with
making recommendations regarding which strategies of the Plan
should be prioritized for inclusion in departmental work
programs. The Planning and Development Committee has
reviewed the recommendations of the Board and directs staff to
initiate work for the following strategies:
• Improve 116th Avenue SE to provide a walkable,
bikable, and environmentally -friendly way to connect
to destinations.
• Provide skills training and support for immigrants at
schools or a community center to welcome new
residents and foster a sense of community across
diverse neighbors.
• Complete missing links in sidewalks and add
pedestrian -scaled street lighting and calm traffic on
routes to schools, parks, and commercial areas.
• Continue improving the pedestrian environment
around the Benson Shopping Center.
