WORK SESSION
1. Training Video: "Being an Effective Planning Commissioner"
Commissioners were shown a video filmed at a recent conference which discussed the
role and duties of P&Z Commissioners. Thompson highlighted points concerning open
meetings regulations and the legal liability of Commissioners. Commissioners George
and Porter attended the conference and aided in the discussion.
2. Discuss revisions to the Comprehensive Plan.
Thompson and Capehart presented draft revisions to the Comprehensive Plan Map, based
on recommendations of the previous meeting. Commercial area, including the
community commercial, corridor commercial and Village Center retail and the effects of
these to the historic downtown area was discussed in depth and the draft revisions
generally accepted. Commissioners expressed desire to preserve much of the remaining
larger tracts for Country Residential acreage lots rather than add more area for smaller
lots, for which the Council has expressed support. Staff will detail the draft map further,
but generally as currently proposed.
Thompson mentioned that staff will provide written philosophy, goals and
recommendations for review at a meeting in the near future. Both text and map will be
voted on before a public hearing is held to receive citizen comments.
ADJOURNMENT
With no further business, a motion was made by Commissioner Hughes, and seconded by
Commissioner Chapman to adjourn the meeting at 9:06 pm. Motion passed 6—0.
