Summary of Sector One Stakeholders Meeting #3 (June 26, 2002) Purpose of Meeting: Discuss Unresolved Development Options &Policies Attendance: 20+ (not all participants signed in) Comment Forms: 17 The purpose of this meeting was to review the "consensus items" on which there is general agreement among stakeholders and to discuss unresolved issues. The results of this meeting are summarized below: Consensus Items Most participants at this and previous meetings agreed with the following list of items that were presented as issues with general agreement among stakeholders. • There should be no new multi - family development in existing neighborhood areas. • The existing traditional neighborhood and historic character of existing neighborhoods should be maintained. • New development should be high quality and attractive. • Drainage and flooding problems should be addressed by fixing existing problems AND making sure that new development doesn't add to the problems. • Development of a linear park with trails along the Purgatory Creek corridor, ideally connecting Dunbar Park (and even the San Marcos River parks) to the recently acquired Purgatory Creek Greenspace. • Neighborhood streets should be for relatively slow - moving traffic and should be friendlier for pedestrians and bicyclists. • The goals of neighborhood character preservation and safety should take precedence over the goals of increasing traffic capacity and traffic flow. • Intersection improvements (turn lanes, sidewalks, crosswalks, etc.) are needed on Hopkins Street, but widening is generally opposed. The major unresolved issues include the following: ➢ Purgatory Creek Area (Carson Tract, etc.) Issue: What should be the land uses and character of development in this area? Options: ➢ Suburban Neighborhood — commercial, apartments, and single- family residential ➢ Mixed -use Neighborhood — mixture of commercial, apartments, and single- family in a "traditional neighborhood" ➢ Commercial /Industrial Park — commercial and industrial development; no residential ➢ New housing in existing neighborhoods Issue: Should new housing be limited to single-family detached homes or a mixture of various single-family occupancy housing types? ➢ Commercial development in existing neighborhoods Issue: Should limited "neighborhood commercial " uses be allowed in appropriate locations within existing neighborhoods?
