Planning commission runs hands‑on workshop to draft future land‑use map for comprehensive plan

Aug 18, 2026

The full story

Planning staff led a workshop on the future land‑use map, describing it as a non‑regulatory, long‑range tool intended to illustrate community vision rather than to regulate individual parcels. "The future land use map categories are meant to be more broad and just kind of capture the community's vision to help guide the future development of the land," staff said, and explained the three‑step process: document existing conditions, project future needs and create multiple alternatives (public, staff, commission).
