draft plan were to be sent to all neighborhood residents and an open house was to be held
to discuss the plan. He clarified the plan would reflect whatever boundaries were
resolved by the City's Neighborhood Boundary Project.
Waluga
Mr. Bunch related that a letter from Ron Hall advising that the neighborhood was ready
to begin work on its plan had been received at the same time as Mr. Bailey's resignation.
He explained that he had alerted Mr. Hall that there would be a delay in designating a
new staff liaison due to existing staff commitments to other neighborhoods and the City's
neighborhood boundary resolution process. He said he had requested a summary of the
work that had already been accomplished by the neighborhood committee and he
understood they planned to have a neighborhood meeting. He advised that the only other
neighborhood that was ready to begin its neighborhood planning process was the
Rosemont CPO. He recommended that staff be allowed to complete current projects
before being assigned to additional neighborhood planning projects. The Subcommittee
agreed that it was more appropriate to complete work in progress and undertake
implementation of existing plans. It was agreed that this should constitute the
neighborhood planning program for calendar year 2000.

their dr. +lan and had held an open house on November 10, 1999. She said that
comments pr+ 'ded by residents indicated the proposed plan had been well received. She
said the chapter land use planning was to be further reviewed and revised by the
neighborhood's Steen' : Committee. She clarified they desired that it reflect that the
City would administer the .lan and certain land-use regulations (including tree-cutting
provisions) in the unincorpora :• area of the neighborhood. She provided an analysis of
the cost of services to that area. S = elated that the neighborhood had recently requested
recognition as a City neighborhood as ,ciation. She pointed out on the map where the

Evan Boone, Deputy City Attorney, warned against allowing a 'tu ' n where there
would be some ambiguity in interpretation of the regular' d residents might feel let
down. Mr. Bunch noted that a letter from the C had stated that the agency was
concerned about policy statements w ' ade blanket prohibitions against zone and
plan map amendments. This a concern because such statements pre-empted even
making application. T ' sue was to ensure that criteria were in place to evaluate land-
use applica ' Commissioner Beebe expressed his desire to ensure that one
ne' ood could not pass density onto another neighborhood.
