Community workshop #1 - July 20, 2006

Community Workshop #1 for the Santa Fe Depot Specific Plan Update was held on July 20, 2006 in the historic Santa Fe Depot. Over 80 people attended the workshop. The purpose of the first workshop was to ask questions about how to revitalize the Santa Fe Depot area and to listen to the issues, goals and visions expressed by the workshop participants. The consultant team presented demographics, market information and various opportunities and constraints for the Santa Fe Depot area to initiate discussion about how to plan for its future. In addition, eleven opportunity sites that will be evaluated for potential new development and/or adaptive reuse were presented for discussion. These sites were preliminarily identified on the basis of their location, current use and potential for adaptive reuse if a historic structure was present.

The primary issues, concerns and ideas expressed by the workshop participants were focused on new development coming to the area and preserving quality of life for the residents. The ideas and questions asked by those attending the workshop will be incorporated into the planning process and addressed at the next community workshop.
