County schedules March 16 public hearing on comprehensive plan; planning staff to post digital materials
Summary
Lincoln County commissioners set the comprehensive-plan public hearing for March 16 at 10:10 a.m. in the District Courtroom; Judy Clark said the plan and regulations (about 400 pages combined) will be posted digitally and larger maps will be available at the hearing.
The board voted to hold the Lincoln County comprehensive-plan public hearing on March 16 at 10:10 a.m. in the Lincoln County District Courtroom and to include the hearing on the commissioners' regular meeting agenda. Judy Clark of Lincoln County planning told commissioners the comprehensive plan and implementing regulations would be posted digitally "this week" and described combined materials as "about 400 and some odd pages," so staff will provide digital access and bring larger maps for the public hearing.
Commissioners discussed venue logistics and the timing; some members preferred keeping the hearing in the county building for continuity while others noted courtroom scheduling constraints. Planning staff noted potential future adjustments should state legislation (discussed later in the meeting) require regulatory changes.
Why it matters: Comprehensive plans guide development, land use, and infrastructure priorities countywide. The planning office's decision to post digital copies aims to improve public access while reserving larger printed maps for the hearing.
Next steps: Planning staff will post the digital plan and regulations online, prepare large-format maps for the March 16 hearing, and the board will take public comment at that meeting.
