Agenda – City Council Interview of Planning Commission Candidate 5:30 – 5:32 Council review and adjust interview questions 5:32 – 5:42 Interview of Raul de la O 5:42 – 5:52 Interview of Joe P. Pishioneri 5:52 – 6:02 Interview of David (Dave) A. Brow 6:02 – 6:10 Council discussion/deliberation Updated 1/22/2013 BJones Planning Commission Interview Questions 1. How familiar are you with planning laws and policies that apply to Springfield’s land use decision making process? If your experience is limited, what would you do to enable yourself to more fully participate as a Planning Commissioner? 2. The City is in the midst of evaluating several areas for possible inclusion in the City’s Urban Growth Boundary. What’s your opinion about how and where the City should grow? Do you think expansion is the answer, or do you prefer infill and redevelopment? 3. Many of the land use laws applied by the Planning Commission are state or federal mandates. During a Planning Commission hearing how would you reconcile your personal opinions or support for the applicant’s interests if it seemed that those interests were not consistent with the land use laws? 4. What is your general understanding of the relationship between the Planning Commission and City Staff, and the Planning Commission and the City Council? 5. What do you think is the proper role for the Planning Commission regarding the revitalization of downtown? 6. Springfield, Eugene and Lane County are phasing out the jointly adopted Metro Area Comprehensive Plan in favor of individual land use plans for each city; what, if anything, do you think the three governments should do to address regional land use and economic development issues when the Metro Plan is gone? 7. What’s your opinion or perception about the City’s reputation for reviewing and approving development proposals? Based on this opinion, do you believe the City should make changes to its approach to development review? 8. The Planning Commission generally meets two evenings each month and additional evening meetings are sometimes necessary. There are also materials to be reviewed in advance of these meetings that may take a couple of hours to read. Given your work and/or family obligations, will you be able to commit to these new demands on your time as a Springfield Planning Commissioner?
