> Hope this summer-like weather isn't too hot for you and hope you are well. My

> updates to you on the upcoming planning review in the Hidden Valley area.
> There is certainly a lot going on in our busy city and an exciting time.
>
> Although I've talked to each of you about some of the water management
> technical work that we started last year and that there will be a new plan and
> new zoning prepared over the next year for this area, many of the property
> owners within the Hidden Valley community are likely not aware of what is
> upcoming. As such, we will be having an introductory meeting to talk about the
> context, the process and what the final deliverable would be. This session
> would involve soliciting some feedback and conversations about what people
> like about the area, what is missing, what is important to consider for any
> future development and the process we are undertaking.
>
> It is primarily aimed at those that own property within the subject area as it
> involves changing the policies and zoning that directly will affect them.
> However, I know that each of you and others in your network have a keen
> interest and past involvement in the area. The information meeting (please see
> the attached notice) is scheduled for the evening of June 19th and it is open
> to the public.
>
> As we had previously discussed, I am hoping and relying on you to help with
> communicating this notice to your networks or others that you think would like
> to be informed and/or involved, so please feel free to pass the notice along.
> We are just starting to pull a webpage together and there is not too much
> information available yet, but after the June meeting we will start to have
> more available. We expect to have a session in early November of this year
> that is more specific about draft new land use mapping (we will take the
> feedback from the June session and anything else received in order to help
> formulate that).
>
> As always, if you have questions or want to have a separate discussion outside
> of the meeting, please let me know.
