DISCUSSION The Planning Division is currently reviewing several projects that will have long range architectural and urban design impacts on the City. Planning Division staff is analyzing projects including the Geneva Commons residential high-rise development at MacArthur Place, the Nexus mixed-use retail and high-rise residential development at Hutton Center, and the City Place mixed-use development adjacent to the Main Place Mall. To enhance the architectural and urban design components of these projects, staff has been consulting with John Kaliski of Urban Studio since March 2003. Urban Studio has also provided valuable input on several smaller projects that has resulted in improved project design. An agreement was approved in March 2003 for $10,000 for the contracted services of Urban Studio. Approval of the amendment to the existing agreement would increase the contracted amount by $50,000 and extend these services for an additional 12-month time period. 25E-1 Agreement with Urban Studio November 15, 2004 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT Funds in the amount of $50,000 are available in the Planning and Building Agency account for other contractual services (account no. 11-505-6291).
