The following serves as a summary introduction of these items: General Plan Consistency Background: A few municipal code and zoning items remain outstanding that must be addressed in order to ensure they are consistent with the 2035 General Plan. As some may recall, the General Plan Land Use Map didn't propose much change from the previous General Plan. There are a limited number of properties that will require a change in zoning. In addition, staff has been reviewing the La Quinta Municipal Code and has identified multiple standards that need to be amended as a result of the General Plan. Schedule: Municipal Code consistency review is already underway. The code revisions and zone change items are tentatively scheduled for consideration by the Planning Commission in May. Municipal Code Review Background: In addition to the aforementioned Code updates, further consideration of amendments to the development standards and permit processes is scheduled to Page 1 of 2 be addressed in 2015. The review is intended to 1) address standards and processes no longer applicable or relevant, and 2) identify opportunities to amend permit procedures that reduce processing time. With the recent implementation of permit software and establishing a customer service center, staff is now focused upon addressing permit procedures and reducing processing time where appropriate and applicable. Schedule: A schedule has yet to be determined. Consideration is being given to the option of forming an ad -hoc committee and/or conducting one or more joint meetings of Planning Commission and City Council. Staff would like to have the process and a schedule defined by the end of March with the expectation of having the process completed by the end of 2015. Village Background: Recent City Council discussions have focused upon providing opportunities to encourage development and strengthen the pedestrian scale of the Village. A project action team has been formed to address completing a Project EIR for the Village, defining street and pedestrian improvements, reviewing development regulations, as well as considering locations for future public parking. Staff is also working on conducting focus group meetings with residents, business owners and property owners in an effort to gain insights and perspective regarding future development within the Village. Schedule: The aforementioned Village work items are intended to be addressed in 2015. A request for proposals for the Project EIR is currently being drafted and expected to be out early April. The focus group meetings are tentatively scheduled for late April -early May. Concept street and pedestrian improvement information is scheduled to be available late summer. Development standards and parking will be reviewed by staff this summer with reporting information available early Fall. The listed work items will involve not only a significant amount of staff time but will also necessitate engagement with the Planning Commission. Staff would like to engage with the Planning Commission at various stages of the process with the aforementioned work items. Staff will be prepared to further discuss these items during the February 24 Planning Commission meeting. Page 2 of 2 2015 Planning Commissioners Academy Wednesday, March 4 — Friday.
