Letter of Intent Neighborhoods
What are letter of intent neighborhoods? These are neighborhoods who have had their representative members attend a Neighborhood Training Session, looked at their funding resources, as well as the dedication of time the neighborhood is willing to commit to planning. Feeling comfortable with their decision, they then submitted a Letter of Intent to the Planning Services Department and the Plan Commission to show that they are ready to begin neighborhood planning and are willing to follow the process outlined in the Neighborhood Planning Guidebook. Neighborhood Planning staff will begin working with the following eleven neighborhoods in September 2003.
TimelineAs the Neighborhood Planning staff and resources are very limited we are attempting to keep all neighborhoods in the same phase of planning as this process evolves and goes forward. To this end we have set a goal of having all eleven LOI neighborhoods through Phase I by mid January 2004 and begin Phase II of the Neighborhood Planning Guidebook by the end of January. Moving from Phase I to Phase IIAll LOI Neighborhoods have gone through a neighborhood planning education session, attended a Pre-Planning meeting, and are preparing for the Kickoff events to be held in February '04. The next step is to go through the Neighborhood Assessment process during the month of March. This will help neighborhoods determine how much (and what type) of planning is left for their neighborhood.
