That's a mouthful, isn't it? Anyhow, from an email sent out by the city:
The Neighborhood Business District Advisory Committee of the Planning Commission will meet on Wednesday October 16, at 6:00p.m., in room 103 in the Civic Center to discuss possible changes to the Neighborhood Business district. This Committee was formed after the adoption of the new Zoning Ordinance in April 2013. Members of this Committee include Tom Grant, Navreet Kang, Janet Lilly, and Larue Love. In contrast to regular Planning Commission meetings, this will be a roundtable discussion to exchanges ideas and hear input from the public.
Not sure what this committee will actually accomplish since it has no power. I guess it will just listen to people and pass their comments along to city council. What I hope will happen is that the NBDAC will do is say to people, "OK, such and such wants to open in your neighborhood. What do you think about this?" This would mean that the committee would have to prove quite proactive in contacting residents about issues facing their neighborhood. Given recent history, I doubt if many people will respond otherwise, until the issue comes before council and the chamber is filled with people complaining about something that is happening in their neighborhood and why didn't I know about it before kinda like the proposed solar array at the old Koppers plant location.
