Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC)
The first step of the planning process is to establish a Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC) to work with City staff and the consultant to formulate planning principles and objectives for the NCP and develop a land use concept plan. The CAC will be comprised of approximately 13-15 members selected from property owners within NCP Area #4 and representatives from the community organizations active in the adjacent areas and the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). Letters to all of the property owners in the area will be mailed shortly to invite applications for participation on the CAC. Also, invitations will be sent to community organizations to submit names of their representatives for the CAC membership, and the property owners in the adjacent ALR will also be invited to apply to be on the CAC. Applications from the property owners and nominations from the community organizations are due by Friday, April 30, 2010. The City will review the applications for CAC membership and prepare a list of prospective candidates from the applications submitted by the property owners to ensure a balanced representation from the NCP area.
The City has retained Stantec Consulting Ltd. of Vancouver, BC to assist City staff in the preparation of an NCP for Grandview Heights Area #4.
