Summary
Council approved an initiating resolution asking the Planning Commission to consider amendments to incorporate the Trails and Connectivity Plan into the 2035 Comprehensive Plan, with staff outlining a timeline for commission review, a month of comment compilation, a council work session and hoped-for adoption in October.
Council considered an initiating resolution to have the Chesapeake Planning Commission review proposed amendments to the 2035 Comprehensive Plan to incorporate the Trails and Connectivity Plan.
At the meeting, planning staff (Mr. McNamara) told the council the timeline calls for the plan to go to the Planning Commission the next evening, a month of compiling comments and edits, a council work session to review changes, and a target of council adoption in October. Councilmember Ritter asked for copies of the Planning Commission's 13‑page recommendation list ahead of the council work session; McNamara said staff could provide up to 20 comments currently logged and include them with the work session materials.
The council moved and adopted the initiating resolution by a 9-0 vote. Councilmembers emphasized the need for sufficient time to review commission recommendations and public comments prior to the scheduled work session.
