Body
Whereas, A detailed economic development plan has been prepared, which is titled 30th Street Corridor Economic Development Master Plan ("ED Plan"), a copy of which is attached to this Common Council File; and
Whereas, Recent developments in the 30th Street Corridor ("Corridor") have necessitated a more refined analysis and updated strategy to further the goals of the Century City initiative and other projects in the Corridor; and
Whereas, The ED plan was created to supplement the City's existing comprehensive area plans that contain sections of the Corridor to: identify economic sectors best suitable for the Corridor through a detailed market analysis; identify priority sites susceptible to change in the Corridor; determine infrastructure needs; and establish implementation strategies to best achieve economic success in the Corridor; and
Whereas, The creation of the ED Plan involved extensive public outreach, input and cooperation with the public and Corridor stakeholders similar to the public process followed in the development of the City's 13 comprehensive area plans; and
Whereas, On September 21, 2004, the Common Council adopted File No. 040565, setting forth an Evaluation, Update and Amendment procedure for amending comprehensive area plans; and
Whereas, That procedure, including a properly noticed public hearing, has been complied with; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, approves the 30th Street Corridor Economic Development Master Plan and amends the Near North Side, Fond du Lac and North, Near West Side and Washington Park Comprehensive Area Plans with the inclusion of the ED Plan as an element of the City's Overall Comprehensive Plan and as recommended by the City Plan Commission; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the amended Comprehensive Area Plans, as approved, shall include, as an appendix, a text reference to consult the ED Plan as a supplement to provide further guidance and serve as the basis for decision-making by the Common Council in its consideration of matters related to and located within the 30th Street Corridor; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Department of City Development, the Department of Neighborhood Services, the Department of Public Works and other appropriate City departments and agencies are directed to work toward implementation of the ED Plan; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of the Department of City Development is authorized to send copies of the ED Plan to the parties identified in it as having responsibility for implementation of said Plan for their reference and use.
