Commission readies Aug. 26 town hall on land use and code changes; seeks clearer messaging
Summary
The commission scheduled a town hall for Aug. 26 to discuss general plan, land-use and potential code changes and emphasized clearer outreach (specific code items, maps, 'concerns and solutions' messaging) and use of printed materials and sign-up forms to boost participation.
The Planning Commission discussed outreach and structure for a town hall on Aug. 26 covering the general plan, land use, zoning and potential code changes. Staff said the mayor will run the event and recommended that attendees be invited to submit written comments if they do not wish to speak.
Commissioners and residents urged clearer messaging and preparation: suggestions included publishing the specific code topics to be discussed, providing maps or a large screen, asking people to come with "concerns and solutions," and offering printed materials at the meeting. One member noted the town's prior general-plan survey returned 87 responses and said that consultants will continue to refine maps and recommendations.
Staff agreed to provide recent code-change summaries and to work on language for the invitation so residents understand what "land use" means in the context of the meeting. The commission encouraged use of committees and targeted outreach to engage more residents ahead of the Aug. 26 event.
