SUBJECT
Title
Appoint one Senior Advisory Commissioner and one alternate to participate on the El Camino Real Community Advisory Committee (Presented by Community Development Associate Planner, Anna McGill)
Report
BACKGROUND
On January 23, 2018 Council approved the formation of an El Camino Real Community Advisory Committee (ECR-CAC) to be made up of residents and stakeholders within Santa Clara to provide public input into the El Camino Real Specific Plan. The formal outreach efforts commenced in February 2018. The ECR-CAC acts as an advisory body on a vision and detailed guidance for preferred plan land uses, transportation improvements and design standards for the El Camino Real corridor over the next 20 to 30 years. More information regarding the Specific Plan process and previous outreach events can be found at www.santaclaraca.gov/ecr <http://www.santaclaraca.gov/ecr>.
DISCUSSION
While staff have a few representatives and on the ECR-CAC that represent the needs and interests of senior citizens have received feedback from the community through the outreach process, staff would like to invite the Senior Advisory Commission (SAC) to appoint one of its members to participate on the ECR-CAC and to communicate with the SAC on progress with the El Camino Real Corridor Plan.
