Commission previews long-range comprehensive plan and notes staff transition
Summary
Commissioners were asked to review a draft long-range comprehensive plan ahead of a steering-committee meeting; the director also announced staff member Kevin is leaving for a position in Wooster, Ohio.
At the Sept. 18 meeting the director asked Planning and Zoning Commission members to review the draft long-range comprehensive plan prior to the steering committee meeting scheduled Sept. 25 and said the implementation chapter (chapter 11) contains the primary action items staff want the commission to evaluate.
The director said the draft remains in a working format and encouraged members to submit comments via the online link so staff and the consultant can address revisions ahead of the next steering-committee meeting. He said the plan will return to the Planning and Zoning Commission for formal consideration and ultimately to city council for adoption as a guide for future development.
The director also announced that Kevin (last name not specified in the record) accepted a position in his hometown of Wooster, Ohio, and will be leaving the planning department; commissioners and staff expressed appreciation for his work. The director said staff will review internal structure and next steps for staffing.
Council liaison Jeff Noble provided a council update: council had approved a rezoning on Moore Road after public hearing, and the council discussion included a breakdown from the fire chief on emergency responses to senior facilities and debate over whether a proposed age-restricted apartment project should be considered 'affordable' or 'market-rate.'
