Commission favors amending the 2026 Master Plan rather than funding a full rewrite
Summary
Zoning Administrator Smith presented the most recent master plan; commissioners suggested amending the existing plan to update goals and add a progress report instead of funding an expensive full rewrite this year.
Zoning Administrator Smith presented the most recent draft of the 2026 Master Plan and asked the commission whether staff should prepare amendments or begin the more expensive process of adopting a new plan. Commissioner Winter recommended amending the current plan instead of budgeting for a complete rewrite this year.
Commissioner Coykendall said no major changes appeared necessary, describing a full overhaul as likely wasteful. Commissioner Laycock proposed that any amendment include updated goals and a new section providing a progress report on initiatives from prior master plans.
The commission did not adopt a formal directive or budget decision at the meeting; the discussion indicated a preference for an amendment approach and for staff to draft proposed updates focused on goals and progress metrics.
