Seaford council affirms five-year comprehensive plan review with no changes
Summary
The Seaford City Council unanimously accepted Planning & Zoning’s recommendation that the city’s five‑year comprehensive plan needs no revisions, voting to submit a findings-of-fact letter to the Office of State Planning.
The Seaford City Council voted unanimously April 28 to accept Planning & Zoning’s findings that the city’s five‑year comprehensive plan remains relevant and needs no changes.
City manager stated that the Office of State Planning asked the city to review the plan and that Planning & Zoning reviewed it at its April 2 meeting and recommended no changes. Councilwoman Grasset moved to approve the commission’s recommendation; Councilman Quillen seconded. In roll-call votes, Councilwoman Grasset, Vice Mayor Henderson, Councilman Bradley and Councilman Quillen each said they voted “yes” based on the findings of fact and the motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: the five‑year review is a routine check required by the Office of State Planning to confirm whether a municipality’s goals and objectives remain appropriate. By voting to accept the findings with no recommended revisions, Seaford will notify the state office that no substantive amendments are being proposed at this time.
What happened: The council opened a public hearing at 7:04 p.m. and reviewed the background materials Planning & Zoning provided. The manager told the council the commission had no recommended changes. After a brief period for public comment during the hearing, the council closed the hearing and moved into the regular meeting where the vote took place.
Next steps: The council’s vote authorizes staff to send the findings letter to the Office of State Planning. The council did not propose any amendments to the plan during the meeting.
