County sets public outreach for comprehensive plan: Oct. 1 outreach meeting, Nov. 12 public hearing

Staff updated the commission on the schedule for adopting the county comprehensive plan and related public outreach. Materials and hard copies have been placed in libraries and on the county website, and the staff team will distribute flyers and solicit comments ahead of the public outreach meeting.

Staff said the public outreach meeting is scheduled for October 1 at the Happs Building, comments from departments are due September 29, the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing November 12, and staff expects county commissioners to review the plan on November 17. “We are putting out the flyers everywhere for the public outreach meeting, which is October 1,” staff said. Members were urged to attend and to forward any comments before the deadlines.

The commission was reminded that the comprehensive zoning code update will follow in 2027; staff said it will collect and summarize outreach input for the October meeting and county review.
