Planning Commission completes Chapter 11 work session, consolidates consultant and commissioner edits
Summary
At a work session following the hearing, the commission compared consultant (Kimley Horn) text and commissioner redlines, agreed to keep Kimley Horn language in many sections but to adopt several commissioner edits to Chapter 11 (community resources) and the glossary, and directed staff to consolidate changes for review before the Sept. 29 map session.
After a short break, commissioners moved into a work session on Chapter 11 of the comprehensive plan (community resources). They conducted a line‑by‑line review comparing consultant text (Kimley Horn) with commissioner redlines (largely from Kevin), agreeing to retain consultant language in many places while adopting commissioner edits in others to reduce duplication and make the content more evergreen.
Key changes included removing redundant paragraphs, updating references to the county emergency notification system (replace vendor name with an evergreen description, e.g., "countywide emergency notification system / Elbert County Alert"), clarifying the OEM's placement in the sheriff's office, and asking to invite the OEM director to speak. Commissioners also discussed glossary terms and decided to define the planning commission within the glossary and to pare back or refine other definitions (attainable/entry‑level housing, open space language, controlled growth) for clarity.
Jennifer agreed to consolidate the panel's edits into a single compiled document and circulate a cleaned draft before the Sept. 29 work session on the future land‑use map; commissioners emphasized the need for staff to reconcile consultant and commissioner versions in Appendix A and the glossary before public release.
