Comprehensive Plan Update: PACC and Sports Facility Study Session
Financial Services Administrator (FSA) Bryant Enge presented information on this item. There
was no public comment.
Committee Member Dovey asked for the purpose of the staff report to which FSA Enge reported
that there had been a concern raised in the past the information in the updated Comprehensive
Plan was not accurate. Since the last update in 1994, some of the information regarding the
PACC and the Competitive Sports Facility needs updating. Staff would like to see the
Comprehensive amended to have this information corrected.
Chair Duclos pointed out that as it exists today, the summary on the Competitive Sports Facility
needs updating so as not to compete with the Community Center. FSA Enge concurred,
elaborating that the Competitive Sports Facility would not include a pool. There would be
sports courts available for basketball and volleyball use that would not compete with the
Community Center.

Councilmember Burbidge also supported updating the comprehensive summary for future
facilities. FSA Enge stated that if directed to, staff would make the suggested updates as it
relates to Section 6.4 of the Comprehensive Plan.
Assistant City Attorney Beckwith commented that this may conflict with already having had
amended the Comprehensive Plan already in 2010. It may only be amended once per year.
Director of Community Development Services Fewins stated that since the Comprehensive Plan
amendment was recently enacted, the amendments to Section 6.4 could be included as part of
the 2010 amendment. The PACC and the Competitive Sports Facility had originally been part
of this amendment, but had been removed due to inaccurate information.
Committee directed staff to return to LUTC with the proposed updates to Section 6.4 of
the Comprehensive Plan with respect to the PACC and the Indoor Competitive Sports
Facility.
