The Commission shall examine sources of funding, private, public and charitable, for improvements to the study area, and shall develop a plan for the area and a strategy for execution of the same, which may include changes in zoning, use patterns, height restrictions, traffic patterns, installation of trees, plantings, benches, historical markers, lighting fixtures and all manner of street furniture, but this listing shall not be exclusive. In so doing, the Commission shall consult with, and coordinate its efforts with, all public Agencies involved with planning, zoning, transportation, traffic and similar activities within the study area.

All Departments, Boards and Agencies of the City shall cooperate with the Commission in its activities. No Department, Board or Agency of the City shall take any action, except those immediately necessary to preserve the public health, safety or order, within the study area until it has given notice thereof to the Commission and allowed reasonable time and opportunity for the Commission to comment thereupon. Action as used herein shall mean any physical change and any so-called ‘sign-off’ allowing another public body to make such a change.
