Planning and Zoning Board Meeting • October 12, 2022
Minutes • Page 2 of 4

carried unanimously.
B. Quasi-Judicial/Comprehensive Plan Amendments (Legislative — Public Hearings
2. Presidential Streets Master Plan Update
Kyle Harris gave a presentation to the Board on the Presidential Streets Master Plan (Plan), to
include revisions suggested by the Board at its August 24, 2022 meeting. Kimley Horn improved
the quality of some of the images used in the Plan, making them easier to read. Also, language
on page 4, providing an overview of the Center Street Basin Study, was added. The Board had
requested the Plan expand on potential benefits presented by one-way streets as they relate to
storm water management. There is additional language and tables presenting opportunities and
challenges for both one-way streets and two-way streets. Changing a street to one-way will
change the traffic pattern throughout the neighborhood and should be done in conjunction
with the traffic study to determine traffic and mobility impact.
Assuming there are no comments, the next stage, will be to study the lay out and arrangement
of the presidential streets and identify potential one-way streets. This study will be called Phase
2, and will provide more detail on specific streets and providing recommendations. This study
would be initiated in FY 22-23 (contingent upon Council approval). From there, public input
would be gathered on study recommendations to include residents/owners on an affected
street.
Staff informed the Board that the City was recently named recipients of a $50K Grant from the
(NSF) National Science Foundation. The NSF is an institute increased public Outreach concerning
storm water infrastructure and low impact development. Phase 2 of this grant, which hasn't been
applied for yet, could be worth up to a million dollars and would be for infrastructure
construction. The Presidential Streets Project and the Phase 2 Grant would line up in a way that
the street design process would be starting around the same time that funding from the Grant
becomes available.
Discussion ensued. A motion was made by Board Member Miller and seconded by Board
Member Gentilquore to recommend to Council to consider and endorse the Presidential
Streets Master Plan. Vote on the motion carried unanimously.
