Project Updates – Please send any updates via email

•   Belmont Bridge
       o Design Public Hearing - Spring 2018
•   West Main Street
       o Gearing up for stakeholder meetings, BAR, etc. in Feb/March. Exact dates TBD.
•   TJPDC Regional Bike/Ped Plan
       o Jan. 17 Technical Advisory Committee Meeting
       o Any interest in a regular informal get together?
•   Standards and Design Manual
       o Staff is expecting to receive a draft SADM this month. Once it is reviewed,
           stakeholder meetings will be scheduled.
•   Code Audit Update
       o No update since Dec. - The PC approved a temporary height definition based upon
           an average grade plane. They also modified some language so that buildings on
           water street still need to provide lower street walls on their other facades and to
           exempt non-conforming structures under BAR review from being forced to conform
           to massing regulations if altered (few buildings on the Mall conform and would have
           to be added onto or demolished significantly if altered under the previous
           ordinance). These still need to be approved by Council. The list of other items that
           need help is still extensive. The current hot topic is the definition of mixed use.
•   SIA/Form Based Code
       o This project is on hold until a Housing Needs Assessment is completed and a a
           facilitator is hired to engage all of the public housing developments that are
           contained within the SIA.
•   PLACE
       o Meeting on Jan. 11. Agenda not yet posted.
•   BAR
       o Work session from 12-2 on January 24th on RRFBs and the Public Improvements
           chapter of the Architectural Design Control guidelines. This is to get ahead of the
           Standards and Design Manual update. The meeting will be in the NDS conference
           room.
