Planning Director, Rebecca Willis, spoke during Review of Correspondence and Reports; you can watch the video (she speaks at 1 hr. 1 min. ~50 sec.+) here.

Rebecca Willis gave a brief summary of the process so far and noted that there is now brand new Planning  staff.  She then announced that a workshop/study session is scheduled at the Board’s next meeting Nov. 22. Rebecca indicated that the purpose of the study session is to review the land use plan, to make sure staff is understanding direction given 1-1/2 years ago.  She noted that a number of comment letters were submitted at that meeting which raised a number of important key issues and represent local knowledge and expertise and need to be incorporated/integrated.  She plans to review those comments in greater detail with the Supervisors and discuss how they will play into the General Plan.  At the study session staff will also be looking for “go-forward” direction on the map, comment letters, and the public process to prepare the General Plan and get it out for public review.   There is no time indicated for the “Study Session on the General Plan Preferred Land Use Plan” but keep an eye on this website for updates once the agenda is published.
