Committee schedules September sessions to begin intensive future land-use mapping and public outreach
Summary
Members scheduled two September meetings (Sept. 3 and Sept. 17) to begin the substantive future land-use mapping and recommended an information primer so the group starts the mapping process with the same baseline understanding of "growth areas."
Committee members agreed that future land-use mapping will be the most substantive element of the plan and penciled in two September meetings (Sept. 3 and Sept. 17) to work through growth-area decisions and related map work.
Staff said it would be useful to run an information session or primer before the first September meeting so members arrive with a common understanding of statutory definitions and terminology (for example, what the state considers a "growth area"). Staff also said visual materials and a simplified growth-area map would be circulated in advance and that the team will prepare handouts explaining the vision statement and how growth-area decisions connect to policy options.
The committee emphasized the importance of in-person attendance for the mapping sessions so members can view visuals together, and staff agreed to distribute draft policy chapters and relevant inventories before the meetings to support informed discussion and public outreach planning.
