Planning Director Discussion
Ongoing Land Use and Transportation Projects: Mr. Hopewell provided an update on the ongoing land
use and transportation project within the Town.
Update on Unified Development Ordinance: Mr. Hopewell informed the Commission of Town Council’s
vote to adopt the UDO at last week’s meeting. He discussed the next steps for implementing the UDO.
Mr. Hopewell identified that parcel ID 50-1D on Zeuswyn Drive had not been rezoned to Commercial
(C) as recommended by the Planning Commission as it would have required a new public hearing. He
had committed to the property owner that the rezoning request would be brought forward independently
in the future.
Planning Commissioner Discussion
Mr. Flanagan thanked all of those that were involved in the UDO process and looks forward to working
on the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Clements confirmed that, at that time, the only item slated for the follow week’s work session was
a comprehensive plan update discussion.
Adjournment - The meeting adjourned at 6:40 pm.
