Board agrees to kick off comprehensive‑plan outreach, discusses expanding 29–33 growth area
Summary
Greene County staff secured direction to launch a comp‑plan engagement website and branding ahead of a public kickoff; board members discussed whether to extend the 29–33 corridor growth area and flagged required infrastructure and traffic studies for any rezoning.
Planning staff asked for permission to launch a website and branding to support the comprehensive plan update and to begin targeted public engagement. Staff proposed a contest to generate branding for outreach and suggested a kickoff work session in late May; the board agreed to move forward with the public engagement website and to hold a kickoff session (participants discussed May 26 as a candidate date).
Board members debated whether to identify the 29–33 corridor as a growth area and discussed the studies necessary to make that map meaningful, including traffic and utility/infrastructure studies and potential rezoning steps. Staff advised the board that designating a growth area in the comp plan is not, by itself, a rezone and that infrastructure studies and rezoning steps would be required for formal changes.
