Staff reports on comp plan land‑use mapping, community outreach and possible Stony Creek park
Summary
Staff member Amanda said a steering committee is wrapping the comprehensive plan land‑use map portion, community outreach included the Spoonbread and craft festivals, and administration is pursuing a park expansion and a potential satellite park at Stony Creek with goals and objectives slated for Planning Commission review this summer.
Amanda, a city staff member, told the group the steering committee met recently to work on the comprehensive plan’s land‑use map and used five years of growth data to project residential needs and identify areas suitable for development.
She said the committee expects to present goals and objectives to the planning commission and that staff plan a work session followed by a public hearing for adoption of goals and objectives in August or September. "We had a steering committee meeting last Thursday evening, very productive meeting about the, future land use map portion of the comp plan," she said.
On outreach, Amanda described staff presence at community events, including the Spoonbread Festival and a craft festival where staff gathered input and noted survey responses emphasizing youth needs — after‑school programs, entertainment and parks and recreation. She said administration has proposed a park expansion funded in the budget and that staff are negotiating with the developer about a potential satellite park at Stony Creek.
The update signaled next procedural steps: planning‑commission review of goals and objectives, a city work session on those goals, and a public hearing in the coming months. No formal vote or funding appropriation beyond the previously mentioned budget proposal was recorded in the transcript.
