Summary

Planning staff reminded commissioners to send comments on the circulated general plan draft and warned that the general-plan public hearing requires a longer public-notice period (about 90 days).

County planner Caden (S5) told the planning commission that staff had circulated a draft of the county general plan and asked commissioners to submit comments so staff could incorporate them into the next revision. "I sent that out a couple weeks... maybe it's been about a month ago to you all, just the draft," Caden said, urging commissioners to return suggested edits.

Planner Caden also flagged a procedural requirement: the public hearing for the general plan requires a longer noticing period than a typical public hearing, noting it is not the usual 10–14 days and that "General plan, they want, like, 90 days." Staff said they would double-check noticing and confirm scheduling before the next meeting.
