Commission schedules special session and map exercise to finalize future land‑use categories
Summary
Staff asked commissioners to mark large print maps to indicate preferred future land‑use categories and to return them by the stated due date; commissioners requested larger, road‑labeled maps and the body scheduled a follow‑up special meeting to review returned maps and draft chapters of the comprehensive plan.
The Planning & Zoning Commission spent the final portion of the meeting on the comprehensive plan’s future land use map. Staff provided draft chapter text (chapters 1–2.5 in packet) and a small‑format map template the commission was asked to color for future‑land‑use categories. Commissioners requested larger, road‑labeled maps (24×36 or quadrant 11×17 sheets) to make parcel‑level decisions practical. Staff agreed to print larger maps and deliver them to commissioners for individual markup. The commission set a deadline for returned, marked maps (Monday the 23rd) and scheduled a special call meeting on Thursday the 26th at 4:00 PM to collate inputs and create a staff‑prepared heat map overlay for further discussion.
Staff emphasized the future land use map is a 20‑year visioning tool (not immediate parcel‑by‑parcel zoning) and that the outcome will be used to guide the comprehensive plan and subsequent zoning decisions. Commissioners asked for the current adopted future land‑use map as a reference and requested that staff provide both the existing map and a blank large‑format map for their mark‑ups. Staff confirmed maps will be available for pickup and that staff will scan inputs into a consolidated heat map for the commission’s next meeting.
