Item 30 Allandale and Rosedale Planning Area Boundaries
Posted: Tue Apr 18, 2017 8:58 am
To my colleagues:
I understand this item has been pulled for Work Session, and just to save time, I'd like to get some information out there.
Q: Why are you making this change?
A: This is a District 7 housekeeping change to sync the neighborhood boundaries with the planning area boundaries.
Q: Why is this being brought up now?
A: Rosedale is next in the city staff’s queue for a neighborhood planning effort.
Q: Why is the Rosedale Planning Area bigger than just the Rosedale neighborhood?
A: A planning area can encompass several neighborhoods. In this case, the Rosedale Planning Area would encompass Rosedale, Ridgelea, and Oakmont Heights. My resolution would not change that – it would just fix a discrepancy in the boundaries in order to keep Allandale whole, rather than splitting it up among two different planning areas.
Q: Why were the planning boundaries different in the first place?
A: I think our staff can answer that question. But my intent is to make sure the boundaries are clear when Rosedale starts its planning process.
Q: How many neighborhood planning areas are left to do in the urban core?
A: Including the North Shoal Creek neighborhood, which is finishing their neighborhood planning area process, Rosedale and Allandale are the last in line in the urban core.
