. Downtown would expand to industrial parcels on the south side of TH 5, on
the west and east side of Powers Boulevard.

Evaluation Criteria
The following criteria will be detailed for each of the scenarios at the meeting. They are not
listed in order of significance. In preparation for a productive discussion, please consider if
additional criteria are needed to inform the conversation.
. Traffic and transportation
. Tax base and revenue generation
. Required city services
. Land use compatibility
. Community image/ identity
. Market share/ retail access
. Impact to Downtown
. Effect on current land use
. Relationship to current and future neighborhoods (city wide)
. Effect on property values
. Relationship to community growth
Critical Questions
1. Do the criteria listed above appropriately reflect community priorities and preferences?
2. Do the three alternatives described require any modification to reflect future development
scenarios? Are there any fatal flaws in these alternatives that would preclude their further
consideration?
3. Are Council and Commission members comfortable bringing these three scenarios to the
community for consideration at the June 27-28 Open House meetings?
