>>What do you think about INC sponsoring a Comprehensive Plan/UDO workshop 
>>sometime this winter (after passage) to help educate neighborhoods about 
>>these.
>>
>>I'd broached this with Frank a couple of weeks ago and he expressed 
>>support in having staff available to help put it on.
>>
>>I'd be willing to work on a venue and program with the UDO taskforce if 
>>you think it'd be a worthwhile endeavor.
>>
>>It could be on a Saturday starting around 8:30 with 30-45 minute workshops 
>>hopefully ending at lunch time.
>>
>>We can have a few different 'sessions'.
>>
>>    Definitions and terms to understand
>>    Basic concept and outline of planning documents
>>    Neighborhood notification
>>    Protest petitions
>>    Working with staff
>>    Policies and procedures for developments
>>    Approval process
>>
>>If we're willing to be inclusive,  we might even open up the sessions to 
>>developers and real estate interests so we can start working on a better 
>>understanding between us (i.e. Developer score card).
>>
>>With as work as everyone's put into them, I think it'd be a great idea if 
>>we could help folks (neighborhoods, Planning Department, elected 
>>officials, etc) with something positive like this.
