3. R
3 Zoning Code Update
• Support for neighborhood-serving retail to improve walkability and bikeability. • Desire for zoning changes that reduce street widths and parking requirements. • Preference for this type of infill housing over large-scale development. • As an existing initiative, members would like to see it completed.

• Support for clear visual guidelines and a shared design vocabulary. • Recommendations to incorporate historic preservation, green space, biodiversity, and urban forestry.
• Seen as a tool to streamline review processes and support design professionals. • Desire to include sidewalk and driveway locations in standards. • Larger projects should account for bike and pedestrian infrastructure.
11. A
utonomous Vehicle (AV) Shuttle Pilot Program
• Skepticism about AVs benefiting pedestrians and cyclists. • Concerns that the City need not be an early adopter, given lack of industry prioritization. • I
nterest in AV shuttles being used to support library access. • Preference for investing in the existing shuttle program, with expanded routes and better access for students and lower-income residents.
• Concerns about job displacement due to AVs.
• AVs could be an attraction for visitors curious about new technology.
12. Do

trong interest in involving artists in activation efforts. • Downtown identified as a vital community hub deserving continued prioritization. • Interest in stronger tools (“sticks”) to encourage property owner participation. • Seen as an effective way to boost foot traffic and support the pedestrian mall’s success.
13. Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Increase to 71
• Request for analysis of the long-term trade-offs between investing now versus deferring. • Question of whether this should be considered ongoing operations rather than a strategic workplan priority.
14. C

• Encouragement to identify organizational efficiencies in on-going work to free up capacity for strategic priorities.
15. City Volunteer Framework
• C
oncerns that it is currently too difficult to become a City volunteer. • Volunteers seen as critical to civic engagement and City-supported initiatives. • Emphasis on the risk of losing volunteer contributions if barriers persist.
16. I
nterim Pickleball Plan
• Mixed feedback: Some advisory body members want to prioritize this, while others felt we should focus on the work already in progress.
• Concerns raised about additional pavement associated with new pickleball courts.
