ITEM S.A. Agenda Items—Comp Plan Presentation by Confluence
Mr. Minarik of Confluence, Inc., provided a progress update on the Parks and Recreation
Comprehensive Plan 2040 project. Stakeholder meetings are being held with various interest
groups; i.e., staff, senior citizens,hockey associations, youth athletic associations, pickleball
players, Chamber of Commerce, Apple Valley Arts Foundation, etc. Committee was asked
for comments and thoughts as to the direction of the Comprehensive Plan.
Confluence is taking the information from the previous Comprehensive Plan and new
information staff has provided and compiling it into a mapping system. That mapping will
help breakdown the existing inventory of the park system, show proximity within the parks,
and identify where there are gaps.
Confluence is working with PROS Consulting for benchmarking, comparing Apple Valley to
other cities of similar size, to develop a level of service analysis. They will also look at
demographics and density.
The intent is to create an overall vision developing guidelines and determining a pathway to
what the long term Comprehensive Plan will be. From that they will work on implementing
strategies and goals to move forward. Intent is to take that and move backward to the Capital
Improvement Plan(CIP) and yearly look at what the goals are and relate that directly to
strategies and initiatives of the Comprehensive Plan as a working document.
Confluence will continue to gather information on what they see in the parks and how that
relates to other park systems, the level of service, what they think the needs might be and
what they see in the data. This information will be presented at a future Parks and Recreation
Advisory Committee meeting. They will look to the Committee to help guide the overall
principles and vision for the park system.
ITEM S.B. Agenda Items—Orchard Place—Planned Development
