Funding has been allocated to initiate the planning efforts in Fall 2019.  The goals for the plan will be established with the district Councilmember prior to releasing a Request for Proposals. Staff has completed a set of project parameters, draft goals and a project timeline for plan development.

Staff has decided to incorporate this small area plan into the larger city-wide Comprehensive Planning efforts.  The Request for Proposals will be released in November 2019.  The small area plan will have an accelerated delivery timeline than the entire Comprehensive Plan.

On October 24, 2019, Staff is requesting the City Council to add the Bayway corridor to the Reinvestment Zone.  This will provide incentives to spur new development and redevelopment in the area.
