5. Memo re Issue ID Survey City of Scandia – Zoning & Development Code Update 1 MEMO To: Mayor, Members of the City Council & Planning Commission From: Jennifer Haskamp, AICP, Swanson Haskamp Consulting Date: August 28, 2020 RE: Issue Identification – Online Survey Zoning & Development Code Update Project Introduction and Background As discussed during the Project Kick-off work session we have prepared a community survey to solicit feedback from the City’s residents and business owners. Initially we thought we would be able to facilitate an issue identification Open House with the public; however, given the pandemic and social distancing guidelines we agreed to solicit feedback online. Before sending the survey out to the public we are requesting your help reviewing the draft survey. Representatives from the SHC team will attend both the regular Planning Commission meeting on September 1st, and the City Council work session on September 2nd to discuss the draft and collect your feedback and recommendations. Please note that the topic of the survey is Issue Identification and the objectives are to better understand how the residents 1) use the zoning and development code (if at all); 2) if they are happy and satisfied with how the City and its neighborhoods look today from a site development perspective; and 3) to understand what issues residents have that we may need to incorporate into the updated Zoning and Development Code. Questions were developed using the information collected in an initial questionnaire completed the Planning Commission and City Staff. You can access the online survey from the link below (you can copy and paste the address into any browser), and we have included a PDF of the survey in your meeting packet. Please do NOT take the survey – you can place filler text in the fields if needed, and your responses will be deleted. Your comments to the draft will not be recorded since the questions are only a draft. After the Planning Commission and City Council meetings we will compile your comments and feedback, update the survey, and then send it out to the Public for response. Once finalized, we also invite you to participate and take the survey. Thank you in advance for your help and consideration. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ScandiaZoning#
