COMMITTEE FOR CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT (CCI) Estimated Time: 15 Minutes

ITEM TITLE: DOWNTOWN CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CAC) APPOINTMENTS

(File No. TYP 414-00001)

ACTION

REQUESTED:

Review the two applications received. Appoint two new members to serve on the committee in

the “General Public” category of representation.

ISSUE

STATEMENT:

At the April 18, 2017 CCI Meeting, the CCI directed staff to recruit to fill vacant positions on

the CAC. New members will join the intact core committee to see the Downtown Design

Standards project through to completion.

ATTACHMENTS: 1. Applications received

2. Committee roster

DISCUSSION: The City conducted a recruitment process to fill three vacant positions on the Downtown CAC in

the following categories: General Public (2) and Downtown Business Owner (1). The

recruitment was extended to May 15, 2017. Two applications were received. Applicants

Tiffany Washington and Kimlyn Esser would serve in the General Public category. No

applicants for the Downtown Business Owner were received. Staff recommends appointment of

both applicants.

The Downtown CAC provides City land use planning advisory functions associated with the

implementation of the Downtown Refinement Plan and the Downtown Urban Design Plan —

consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 1 and Section II of the City’s Citizen Involvement

Program. Since appointment of this committee, the CCI has appointed new members to fill

vacancies on the CAC and has approved changes to categories of representation as members

move, resign or no longer reflect the category of representation for which they were appointed.

At the April 18, 2017 CCI Meeting, the CCI approved mid-term adjustments to the Citizen

Involvement approach for completing the Downtown Design Standards project — to ensure that

the project will continue to engage a variety of Downtown stakeholders. The Design Standards

are scheduled to be adopted this calendar year. The CCI modified the committee roster (ATT2),

and directed staff to seek additional citizen input including focused outreach to address the

vacant categories on the CAC (the Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Business or Property

Owner, Springfield Downtown School Representative, and Historic Commission), and to

address the City Council’s request for input from the development community.
