STAFF CONTACT(S): Richardson, Filardo, McDermott, Kanellopoulos, Holt
PRESENTER (S): N/A
LEGAL REVIEW: Not Required
REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: The draft Goals and Objectives for the AC44 Comprehensive Plan update were developed based on input from community members, Board-appointed committees, staff and partner agencies, the Planning Commission (PC), and the Board of Supervisors, as well as the AC44 Framework for an Equitable and Resilient Community, best practices, and the 2015 Comprehensive Plan.
In January 2024, the Board of Supervisors will hold a work session on the draft Goals & Objectives for all proposed AC44 Comprehensive Plan topics. In advance of that, through the end of 2023, the PC will hold several work sessions on these topics. Following each PC work session, staff will share a consent agenda overview of each topic group and the associated Draft Goals and Objectives. These periodic updates will keep the Board updated and informed on each plan topic in preparation for their input on the Draft Goals and Objectives in January. No feedback is requested from the Board at this time.
The topics of Environmental Stewardship, Parks and Recreation, and Historic, Scenic, and Cultural Resources were shared at the PC work session on October 10, 2023. At the PC work session on November 14, 2023, staff asked for the Commission’s input on draft Goals and Objectives for the Comprehensive Plan topics of Housing and Economic Development. The remaining Comprehensive Plan topics will be presented to the Planning Commission at the work session on December 19. Staff will share updated draft Goals and Objectives for all Comprehensive Plan topics for Board feedback at a Board work session in January 2024.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Quality of life - Encourage a vibrant community with economic and recreational opportunities that serve all community members.
DISCUSSION: At the beginning of Phase 2, staff shared a series of topic reports with data, trends, challenges, and opportunities for each Plan topic. Community members shared input on their priorities by topic through an online questionnaire, community chats, and pop-up events. The second round of Phase 2 engagement focused on planning toolkit topics. Community members shared feedback through online questionnaires, online and in-person open houses, and several community chats.
During the current (third round) of Phase 2 engagement, staff is sharing Draft Goals and Objectives and seeking community input through a series of online questionnaires, pop-ups, ‘chat with a planner’ office hours, a virtual open house, Community Advisory Committee meetings, and other events. Online questionnaires will remain open throughout Fall 2023 to receive community input. The most recently shared Comprehensive Plan draft Goals and Objectives are for the topics of Housing (Attachment A) and Economic Development (Attachment B).
