Nicholas Hill, Senior Planner from JBPro, started workshop three (3) by having the participants answer a brief survey. He introduced the workshop project team from Axis Infrastructure and introduced Rachel and Kathy from JBPro. He then gave a Powerpoint presentation on 1. Visioning 101, 2. Deltona Vision 2050, 3. Vision Implementation Activity and 4. Next Steps. Mr. Hill stated workshop four (4) will be the last workshop in the visioning series. Workshop four (4) will take the implementation strategies discussed today and map exactly where the participants think those strategies should occur. Workshop four (4) is projected to take place sometime in November or early December and during that time the project team will produce a vision plan document based on the community's input provided throughout this process. Early next year the team will go through the approval process so the planning the City is doing can get started. Mr. Hill asked everyone to get into tables of six (6) to start drafting the implementation strategies for achieving the vision. He stated this will be a timed activity so that all of the participants would be able to comment and provide strategies on all seven (7) of the guiding principles. The Guiding Principles are: 1. Supporting Deltona's family friendly identity by offering a range of activities, events, amenities, housing, and businesses serving all age groups. 2. Prioritize redevelopment over new development by focusing growth to areas already served by existing infrastructure and services. 3. Cultivate a walk able, mix-use environment where people of all life stages can safely access opportunities to live, work, play, shop, and grow within walking distance of their homes. 4. Cultivate an economy featuring a diverse range of industries and jobs. Ensure professional growth for residents at all skill levels and life stages. 5. Enhance Deltona's transportation system by prioritizing safety, improving connectivity, accommodating all major forms or motorized and non-motorized forms of travel. 6. Protect Deltona's natural resources by acquiring and preserving environmentally sensitive lands and ensuring development has minimal impacts on the local ecosystem. 7. Prioritize maintaining and enhancing Deltona's existing public facilities over expansion, while ensuring new developments are sufficiently assessed for the cost of infrastructure expansion. At the end of the activity everyone will prioritize which projects for which principle should be prioritized for future implementation. 5. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS: 6.
