Item Summary: The Steering Committee was divided into two tables. Each table was facilitated

residential, commercial and employment land uses. During the distribution, the table was asked
to answer the following:
• How should we use our remaining land?
• Where are key activity centers? What makes them important?
• Where should we allocate the 7-10K future housing units based on projected population
growth?
• Where should we locate supporting commercial uses? (See Retail Merchandising Plan)
• Where should we locate target industry uses? (See Target Industry Analysis)
• How will the placement of residential, commercial and industry uses support recently
updated policies?

Impact Model (a cost to serve model). Each table’s scenario resulted in a positive net fiscal
