Commission directs staff to begin 60‑day comment period for Dunkirk Town Center master plan chapter
Summary
Planning staff presented draft Chapter 3 (Dunkirk Town Center) updates; commissioners reviewed corrections to unemployment and median‑income data and removed a proposed preservation goal; the commission voted to forward the draft for the required 60‑day public comment period.
Planning staff presented draft Chapter 3 of the town‑center master plan for Dunkirk and summarized changes since the prior review, including corrected unemployment figures and a note explaining lower median incomes in the Solomons CDP due to retiree demographics. Planner Kat Lockwood said draft chapters are being prepared sequentially and asked the commission whether to initiate the 60‑day public comment period for Chapter 3.
Commissioners discussed data accuracy and minor edits; one commissioner expressed appreciation for the unemployment rate correction. A motion to direct staff to forward draft Chapter 3 for the required 60‑day comment period was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote, 6–0. The action starts the statutorily required public‑comment timeline for the master plan update.
