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.
Top Timeline
As 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 II
All 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.
