Council begins update of general plan, solicits planning and zoning commission nominees
Summary
Council members discussed forming a committee to update the town general plan (last referenced adoption: Feb. 2011), and solicited nominees for the planning and zoning commission; the review will cover zoning map, water budget and development goals.
The Emery Town Council discussed restarting work on the town's general plan and solicited names to fill seats on a planning and zoning commission that will help guide the update.
A council member provided a slate of nominees for planning and zoning: Tara Payne, Josh Gardner, Charlene Christiansen, Laurel Kielpack and Josh Clark, and said the town wants an odd number of commissioners. The council member encouraged other suggestions and sponsors for appointments.
Council members said the general plan is expected to guide the town's zoning map, growth goals and a pending water‑budget study. One speaker said the last plan in use dated from February 2011 and that the town is due to revisit its general plan at least every five years. The council indicated it will look at shorter, example plans used by neighboring towns as models and will form a committee to begin drafting updates.
No formal appointments or votes on the general plan were recorded at this meeting; council members said they will continue outreach to potential commission members and begin committee work in coming weeks.
