Update on Scope and Philosophy of the Comprehensive Plan and UDC Update. (B. James)
BACKGROUND
As staff works to finalize the scope documents for the Comprehensive Plan and UDC updates, it is important to have agreement on the expectations for these updates. These include the degree to which the current Comprehensive Clan captures the vision of the community, the amount of public involvement expected, and the range of elements to be included. With the UDC update, the two key questions center on the amount of public involvement in the process and the degree to which the document needs to be tweaked versus overhauled. Staff expects to rely on boards and commissions as well as a few stakeholder groups to gather public input rather than hosting a series of large community meetings. Staff is also expecting more to tweak the UDC rather than overhaul it as the primary complaint about the UDC is a lack of flexibility.
