CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of December 9, 2013— Regular Meeting Page 3 of 24 ■ Next Steps: • Select preferred typical section for Oxford Road • Prepare implementing policies • Complete streets for connectivity /walkability • Design standards • Incentives for redevelopment Mr. Ostradka explained that they had taken Gibbs Planning Group's retail analysis program which encompassed five years, and extended the study out to twenty years to see what would be potentially supportable in the area. He stated that the development program they had come up with which was thought to be plausible by the focus group was for one and a half million square feet of retail and commercial uses, and five hundred residential units within the study area. He added that the focus group was in favor of extending the CRA within both the City and the County; they were very focused on creating a main street environment and not a cut - through for cars; and the development should focus on a pedestrian environment. Mr. Ostradka stated that the next steps were to continue to work with the City and the County to come up with the preferred typical section for Oxford Road for both North and South, prepare the implementing policies that would go into the comprehensive plan or the land development code and then complete their final report by mid- February. Discussion: A brief discussion ensued regarding some of the elements of the proposed redevelopment plan, including zoning issues, connectivity, traffic issues, potential business types, and access and right -of -way issues. 7.
