Great…1:30 Monday afternoon. Very convenient for the “public”.
Unless the Planning Commission and City Council completely lose their minds, I’m thinking this is just a necessary formality . Is there any doubt they are going to adopt this? Perhaps the Public Access vs. Echo Harbor issue may slow this process down?
Sounds like the Downtown Plan has been turned into the VCU Plan.
Carver has been completely removed from the plan, I also noticed in Chapter 1 that paragraphs recommending the elimination of surface parking lots, preserving public green space, and explanations of historic districts have all been struck from the draft. Not sure if those have been moved to other parts of the draft or not.
Got this back from Community Development:
Regarding the Carver removal from the Master Plan – this was initiated by the Carver neighborhood association. They wanted to be all in or all out of the plan. I toured the area with Barbara Abernathy a couple of months ago to discuss the pros and cons of being all in or all out. It was the neighborhood’s decision to not be included in the Downtown Plan. They want to be included in the next phase of the Master Plan, which will be City-wide and neighborhood by neighborhood. This was definitely Carver’s decision. We were all very open about it.
