Summary

Staff presented revisions to an industrial-corridor guidance draft showing a rise in survey responses (from 114 to 447), removal of a Highway 9 portion after public input, and a narrowing of corridor designations to favor light industrial in some locations; a web map and QR code were provided for parcel-specific review.

A staff presenter briefed commissioners on an industrial-corridor guidance draft and the public outreach process, reporting a jump in survey responses from 114 to 447 and noting that many comments sought greater buffers or more regulation. The presenter explained the draft is guidance for future land-use mapping rather than a zoning change; after public feedback staff reduced some corridor designations to light industrial and removed a section of Highway 9 from the proposed corridor.

The presenter emphasized the map is a future land-use overlay not a zoning map and urged residents to use the provided QR code and web map for parcel-specific review. The commission opened public input for the item; no public speakers addressed the draft during the workshop segment recorded in the transcript.
