Ms. Roering stated the overall community connection piece is important and should be included <br />in the Land Use Plan, but potentially under a different name. <br /> <br />Mr. Bennett agreed, adding the broad goal could be kept in the Land Use Plan, but specific details <br />about walkability and trails could be included in the parks strategy. <br /> <br />Mr. Bennett stated language related detailed strategies will need to be updated from 20 years ago <br />to make the Comprehensive Plan more cohesive. <br /> <br />Mr. Gladhill stated City Staff will review older language and changes in design and use, especially <br />as it pertains to language that is not conservation/focused. <br /> <br />Mr. Gladhill stated, regarding rights of property owners, there are multiple sections that can be <br />rephrased or combined. He added the Environmental Policy Board (EPB) can review this section <br />as well, and the language in the overall goals section, to ensure that it lines up with their strategies. <br /> <br />Mr. Bennett stated he agrees with Ms. Roering that creating an order to the goals - primary goals <br />and secondary goals - will increase consistency within the overall document. <br /> <br />Ms. Roering stated issues that residents raised at the workshops as their most important issues <br />should be the primary goals. She added the issue that received the most comments was <br />preservation of the City’s rural character, which should be the top priority. <br /> <br />Mr. Gladhill stated the Highway 10 Access Plan was also a priority that came out of the workshops. <br /> <br />Mr. Valentine requested clarification regarding the EPB’s role in reviewing the Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Gladhill stated the property rights section can be amended, including consolidating the goals <br />and broadening language related to walkability of neighborhoods. He added City Staff will work <br />on creating a prioritization table. <br /> <br />Ms. Roering stated she supports re-wording the property rights section, and combining property <br />rights goals. <br /> <br />Mr. Gladhill stated the property rights section probably belongs in either the Smart Citizen- <br />Focused Government or Citizen Engagement sections. He added I, H and A can be combined <br />under Citizen Engagement. He noted J can be incorporated into the Natural Resources section. <br /> <br />Mr. Bauer stated there were many questions at the public hearing regarding housing developments. <br />He added it would be beneficial to have the development perspective represented at the workshop. <br /> <br /> <br />2040 Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee / July 10, 2017 <br />Page 7 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
