TO: City Council, Economic Development Authority, Planning Commission
FROM: Bruce Nordquist, Community Development Director, AICP
DATE: January 28, 2016
SUBJECT: Market Analysis of the Active Mining Area
As you are aware, we are planning an informal meeting/work session for Thursday, January 28,
2016 immediately following the regularly scheduled City Council meeting which begins at 7:00
p.m. A presentation on the "Market Potential Analysis for the Fischer Aggregate Properties" is
planned. Maxfield Research and Consulting has prepared a 147 page report and attached is an
executive summary. A complete copy is available at the department office.
On the advice of the City Attorney, the proper body to convene this informal meeting is the
Planning Commission. Any potential land use applications from the landowner would first go
through the Planning Commission, so the market potential information is best shared with the
Planning Commission. Members of the City Council and Economic Development Authority
may be present at the meeting, but should take no role in the discussion.
The City Attorney further suggests that this informal meeting be a listening session only. No
positions in support or opposition are to be shared. Limited questions may be asked to help
clarify the content being presented. Each Council Member and Commissioner must reserve their
positions to be addressed at a later date if and when land use and/or financial assistance
applications are submitted and reviewed.
This presentation and informal meeting has been announced to the public via postings and the
City's website. The informal meeting is being held by the Planning Commission and is noticed
as their meeting. The City Council and Apple Valley Economic Development Authority have
posted notice that they intend to attend the Planning Commission informal
meeting. Representatives from the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce have also been invited
to attend.
