    The Lincoln and Londonderry Small Area Plan process is getting underway.

The six new members are Nancy Spannaus, Steve Brown, Jignasha Pandya, Coryn Griffeth, Jim Diley and Russ Rubin. Additionally, on April 2, the City Council approved a contract with Mend Collaborative to serve as the consultant for the small area plan. The working group, consultant team and city staff will meet regularly over the next ten months to study the area and carry out a public engagement process to inform the plan. Ways for the public to get involved and contribute ideas are expected to be announced soon.

    At their February 14 meeting, the Planning Commission will be considering adoption of the Working Group Greenprint. The Greenprint is the Working Group's charter and establishes the group's purpose, expected outcomes, and timeline for the project. If the Planning Commission approves the Greenprint on February 14, staff will make the application for serving on the Working Group available on Thursday, February 15. Applications will be accepted through Friday, March 8. Applications would be reviewed and recommended by the Working Group Co-chairs (Commissioners Miranda, Daye, and Felt). Approval of the Working Group members is voted on by the Planning Commission and would likely take place at the March 27 meeting.

    The proposed Greenprint can be found here.

    Check back after February 14 to apply to serve on the Working Group. More information about the Working Group and small area plans can be found under the FAQ section of this page.
