Community Planning The Partnership for Community Design (PCD) is planning a Community Planning and Design Workshop (CPDW) which is intended to provide citizens a solid understanding of city planning – a serious business that is full of conflicts and great opportunities. CPDW will train members of City Council, boards, commissions, neighborhood leaders and active citizens in creating positive solutions to help shape a distinctive Colorado Springs community. The approach is simple. CPDW presents a group of citizen leaders with a framework of planning within a Colorado Springs context. CPDW goals are to improve knowledge of the legal aspects of planning, to reduce potential land-use conflicts through understanding of how the planning process works, and to develop dialogue between citizens and the City regarding Colorado Springs’ future.
2010 FALL SCHEDULE The CPDW sessions begins Septerment 15, 2010 and continues into November. Each three hour session will be held weekly for six weeks. Each session will expose participants to issues related to the Colorado Springs Comprehensive Plan, zoning, and subdivision concepts, effective public meetings, and design related issues. The emphasis throughout will be to help participants understand how they can positively affect Colorado Springs’ future. CPDW will not advocate particular solutions. Instead, it is meant to provide an understanding of the planning, design and development process with an opportunity for active dialogue. It is important that each class member understands the time commitment involved in the Community Planning and Design Workshop. Applications for the PCD Community Planning and Design Workshop must be received by Wednesday September 1, 2010.
October 20th is reserved in case of a snow date. A nominal fee will be charged to cover the cost of materials, resources, and light refreshments used in producing each of the sessions.
