Seminole Heights Business Plan

On Wednesday, June 29 from 11:30 to 1:30 PM Tony Garcia of the The Planning Commission will be holding a meeting at the Seminole Heights Garden Center to share the draft of the Seminole Heights Business Plan.

This draft plan was developed for the commercial corridors by a advisory committee that included business and property owners and some residents. The plan is to discussed and commented on in this meeting.

"The Strategic Business Plan has, as one of its proposed recommendations, the establishment of an overlay district."

It's unclear to me how this relates to the preliminary information regarding the Seminole Heights Business District Plan found on the Planning Commission website (dated 2003).

All are invited to attend. The Seminole Heights Business Alliance has sent flyers out to the businesses, and this flyer notes their will be a light lunch. However, not much notice has gone out to the residents, except for an email in SE Sem Hts.

The Seminole Heights Garden Center is located at 5810 N. Central Avenue.

6/28/05 9:21 P See Randy Barron's comments providing background to this plan and that "...this meeting is for the BUSINESS community. A meeting for the RESIDENTS is being scheduled for later this summer. As I said earlier, no plan will be officially sanctioned by the city without neighborhood input and approval. "

Down the road (Nebraska Avenue) if I am provided a copy of the plan or a link, I will post it. This way a larger population of residents get a chance to review and comment.

Excerpt from an email sent by Tony Garcia to Seminole Heights Businesses.

"Tommorrow will be the meeting targeting the business community of Seminole Heights. The Planning Commission sent out over 800 postcards to businesses, encouraging them to come and view the strategic plan. It will be a workshop type of format, with information displayed throughout the garden center building. We will have draft copies of the latest version of the strategic plan for people to see and comment on. Please make your best effort to attend and be supportive of a wonderful opportunity for the Seminole Heights community. See you tomorrow."
