As we have not delved into the logistics, I cannot provide any information on the development of a guide as of yet. We have posted an update on the web to reflect the CC actions on May 4th as well as the dates for the workshop and focus groups for June 22 and 23. Details about the locations and specific times will be provided soon. Attached is a newsletter that is being distributed to the CAC's through the Planning staff over the next month. I am currently working on an e-mail to the Advisory Group with this information and revisiting and hoping to reserve some meeting dates and times over the next months into the summer.

Specifically, I reviewed the direction Council gave to Code Studio on May 4th. To prepare for the arrival of the urban form map in August, it would be helpful to have a guide that explains what the map is and how it should be used. I recommended the RCAC have a workshop before the map's arrival so everyone is prepared to use it effectively at CAC meetings. I will be giving an update about the UDO at my next Five Points CAC meeting on June 9th. If you are willing to prepare a draft for a guide, I will agree to test it at the meeting. Also, are you preparing a revised schedule that documents the timeline discussed at the Council meeting? Philip W Poe PWPoe(a)att.net 919.832.6777 voice 919.522.1078 mobile 919.832.6775 fax
