AGENDA CAPTION:

Present and discuss appointment criteria for the Addison Circle Park Vision Plan Advisory Committee.

BACKGROUND:

On February 27, 2024, Council approved a professional services agreement with OJB Landscape Architecture to create a Vision Plan for Addison Circle Park.
The Vision Plan is a recommendation of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Master Plan, adopted by Council in 2019, which identifies the need to plan for the redevelopment of Addison Circle Park and the Conference and Theatre Centre in conjunction with the Transit Oriented Development (TOD). As public engagement is an important step in this process, this committee will help guide and inform the development of the Vision Plan.

The Vision Plan for Addison Circle Park will be developed to serve Addison residents, businesses and attract visitors to Addison. As a result, the advisory committee should include Addison residents that can represent resident's needs and desires and business community representatives that can offer technical expertise related to how the park can benefit surrounding businesses and attract visitors. Staff is recommending that each Council member appoint two advisory committee members which consist of a resident and representatives from the retail and commercial business community. Staff is soliciting direction from Council regarding this recommendation and will also present more detailed information regarding the recommended composition of the advisory committee.

RECOMMENDATION:

Council direction is requested.
