OLD BUSINESS Specific Plan for La Plaza Vieja Neighborhood Since July 2014, City staff and La Plaza Vieja Neighborhood Association (LPVNA) have been collaborating to update the La Plaza Vieja Neighborhood Specific Plan, originally drafted in 2012. This renewed effort included forming a new project team, regular meetings with the neighborhood association and public meetings to look at new information, issues, and potential directions for the plan. The team, which includes two members of LPVNA, has updated the Plan to align with the new Regional Plan, incorporate up-to-date public involvement, and better incorporate the partnership between the City and the neighborhood. Before the Plan goes to public hearings for adoption in Fall 2015, staff is seeking input from City Commissions on the Plan’s policies and implementation strategies. Recommendations gathered from City Commissions will be incorporated into the public hearing draft of the La Plaza Vieja Neighborhood Specific Plan.
