Commission moves to remove land‑use comparison table from comprehensive plan and advance red line
Summary
The planning commission voted to remove a confusing land‑use comparison table from the comprehensive plan and advance the red‑lined change to public hearing, citing conflicts between the plan table and adopted zoning.
During the May 7 review of the comprehensive‑plan five‑year update, commissioners considered Amendment 2, which proposed either validating the land‑use category comparison table against the adopted zoning ordinance or removing the table entirely.
Chair framed the options and commissioners said the table tends to “cross‑pollinate” and create conflicts between the comprehensive plan (a guidance document) and the zoning ordinance (a regulatory document). To avoid carrying a stale or conflicting table forward another five years, commissioners voted to remove the table from the comprehensive plan and advance the red‑line change to public hearing.
The action is procedural: commissioners instructed staff to prepare public‑hearing materials reflecting removal of the land‑use comparison table so the community can comment at the hearing stage.
