SUBJ: Discuss Visioning Process for the Lifestyle Center
As a part of the conceptual review of the Level 7 Development plan on March 9,
2015, the City Council directed staff to work on developing a Visioning Study for the
Lifestyle Center property. Staff has consulted with SRF Consulting Group, Inc. to
prepare a Professional Services Agreement. As outlined by Barry Warner in the
attached proposal, the visioning process is intended to inform the elected and
appointed officials along with the city staff, of the values and priorities presented to
the various stakeholders.
The focus of the study will on the following:
• Composition of development uses
• Circulation including vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles
• Edge treatment and landscaping
• Programmable civic area and amenities
• Development character, scale and aesthetics
Mr. Warner has outlined the suggested 3-4 month process and the stakeholder
meetings. A web-based survey will also be a component of the visioning process.
His proposal includes a budget of $30,000.
Mr. Warner will be at the work session to answer any questions that the Council may
have regarding the proposal. Staff recommends placing the Professional Services
Agreement on the next City Council agenda for approval.
