Morrison explained that Morey at BTPO would be hesitant to build a large project at this time because of the unknowns. Heiner ask what City staff's recommendation is. Burch explained that option 2 gives the City a 20 year road and provides pedestrian safety with curb, gutter and sidewalk on the west side. Stuart would like to see a 33'wide road.The school district is predicting schools in the area which would bring more traffic. Baumeister would like to hold the decision making until the next meeting.

Creative Community Zone (Staff will provide information about new Zone Designation) Hillam is attending a REDI meeting but has provided a memo for the board. Creative Community Zone was explained by Burch.There are requirement but the zoning gives developers a chance to be more creative. Historically it has been required to meet the minimum standards but they have gone away in this zone. Creative Community is a zone on its own which allows multi-family next to single family or commercial. This is an addition to the Land Use policy. Please use the name New Day District instead of Chubbuck's Northgate when referring to the development near the Northgate Interchange. 3. TIF Reimbursement Resolution (action item) (CDA will discuss/comment on proposed Reimbursement Resolution) In 2008 there was a reimbursement resolution that set the criteria for reimbursement in the 1992 Urban Renewal Plan.
