County planner presents draft 20‑year comprehensive plan; board authorizes public notice and VDOT review
Summary
Planner Miss Marshall handed the board a draft comprehensive plan with an approximate 20-year horizon, summarizing 17 months of community meetings and surveys (212 attendees, ~640 surveys), and the board agreed to send the draft to VDOT for a 90‑day review and to advertise a public hearing.
Planner Miss Marshall presented the board with the draft comprehensive plan and a brief history of the 17‑month process that produced it, including district community meetings and an open-house event.
"The plan that we've put together so far has about a 20 year outlook on it," Miss Marshall said, and she reported that "212 people total attended those meetings, and about 640 people took the time to complete those surveys." She outlined the plan's chapters (housing, economic development, transportation, land use and an implementation chapter with timelines) and noted two planning-commission recommendations: adding telecommunications as an economic-development asset and adding a land-use checklist for applicants.
Staff said VDOT has 90 days to comment and that a public hearing process similar to a zoning amendment will follow. The board agreed to move forward with advertising the draft for public hearing and to accept VDOT review comments before formal adoption.
