Summary
After a staff presentation and no public testimony, Hayden City Council recorded a 2–2 roll call on a resolution to adopt the 2045 comprehensive plan update and future land use map; the transcript shows two yes and two no votes and no immediate public comment. Council moved on to other business.
Donna, the city planning presenter, outlined the purpose of the 2045 comprehensive plan update and the public process, saying the document “guides land use and community vision” and is required by Idaho law. She told the council the update includes new demographics, maps and an implementation appendix with 27 actions and timeframes.
The council opened a public hearing and solicited testimony; no forms were submitted and no members of the audience asked to speak. Council members then asked staff clarifying questions about the plan’s appendices, the role of the citizen survey and map sources. Staff said the citizen survey is included in an appendix and may be used as part of cumulative findings in future deliberations, and explained that some map layers were adopted from the county all-hazard mitigation plan and had not been updated locally.
A motion to adopt a resolution approving the 2045 comprehensive plan update and future land use map was made and seconded. Roll call recorded Council member White and Council member DePries voting “no” and Council member Schafer and Council President Rotor voting “yes.” The transcript records that roll call but does not contain an explicit final proclamation of passage; the council then proceeded to other agenda items.
The council had no public comment on the plan at the hearing. Next procedural steps for the plan were not announced on the record in this segment of the meeting.
