Planning board schedules three community feedback sessions on draft comprehensive plan
Summary
Board members confirmed the draft comprehensive plan is in circulation and scheduled community feedback events for May 30 (Phoenicia library, town hall broadcast, Pine Hill Community Center); staff reminded that the plan is aspirational and survey comments are open through May 5.
Planning board members discussed the draft comprehensive plan and public outreach schedule. Staff said the draft is at the public comment stage and three community feedback events are planned on May 30: one at the Phoenicia library, one at town hall (to be broadcast on YouTube) and one at the Pine Hill Community Center.
A staff member emphasized the plan's aspirational role: "comprehensive plan is aspirational," meaning its guidance will inform zoning but is not itself law. The board asked members to submit comments and encouraged residents to participate in the May 30 sessions and to respond to the online survey open through May 5.
Next steps: Staff will release a revised draft ahead of the public sessions; the board will collect community feedback and incorporate comments into a revised comprehensive plan iteration for later review.
