Staff shows draft plan and online comment form; commissioners ask for clearer public outreach and categorized feedback
Summary
Staff displayed the draft plan on the city website and pointed commissioners to a Google form for comments; commissioners requested broader outreach (newsletter, Everbridge, social media) and asked staff to categorize incoming comments by topic for easier review.
Planning staff (Ryan Robinson) demonstrated where the draft Main Street and Gateway Corridor master plan appears on the city website and highlighted a linked Google form that residents can use to submit feedback. Commissioners recommended repeating socialization via the newsletter, the city's Everbridge/email tool and social media, and suggested staff categorize responses into buckets — for example, traffic, building form, or open‑space comments — to streamline commission review.
"If people go look at it they might get confused," one commissioner warned, asking staff to wait to alter publicly posted maps until the commission compiles a consolidated set of recommended edits. Staff said they will gather and forward comment summaries to the commission and suggested another public hearing after edits are compiled.
