SUBJECT: Downtown Association Board Meeting of July 11, 2000
❑ Tom Copeland and Marks Rawson presented revised plans for the Court
Street/Chinatown project. Discussion ensued regarding parking changes and interim
needs while the City develops more parking to offset losses. (We, as a Council, need to
conclude the PDAP to move forward on additional parking and access for the downtown.)
❑ Tim Bochum reported on the Higuera Street Bridge project and the environmental
problems that occurred last week. Concern was voiced over the possible delays to the
project and the impacts on local business. Tim reminded the group that this delay comes
out of the pocket of the contractors, and they will be doing everything possible to get back
on schedule. The environ-mental degradation of the creek occurred with the third
grouting of the wall (out of 99 grout fills to be done).
• ❑ John Thomas presented ideas for improving the Mardi Gras parade, and finding a solution
to the crowds downtown. The Board voted unanimously to support a Tuesday night
parade starting at 6.33 p.m.
❑ A Cal Poly student presented plans for the downtown bicycle Criterium scheduled for
Sunday, April 8, 2001 (after the Sea Otter Race). This date will provide a national event
and will be placed on the national cycling calendar. The item was referred to the
Downtown Association Promotions Committee. Concerns were expressed regarding the
closing of streets and problems with an event three years ago.
❑ Taste of San Luis event planning is moving forward.
o Ms. Holley continues to research a publisher for a downtown magazine.
❑ A joint study session with the City Council is planned for August 29, 2000 to discuss
Main Street concepts.
❑ The new Downtown Art Banners will be on display next Tuesday, July 18`h, with a
reception from 4:00-8:00 p.m. at the Art Center.

I propose a City Council Study Session on the status of prime agricultural land within the City's
URL before we lose much more of it. The City Council needs to know how much of it we have,
where it is.kocated,the rate at which it is disappearing,and whether some of it should be zoned
Agriculture. It would make sense to hold this Study Session soon, prior to the consideration of
the Dalidio project if possible, since so much Ag land is slated for annexation under the present
General Plan.
