Description

During the past year, the Town Council has received significant input from residents about growth, housing density, developer proposals for larger developments, communication, and recently adopted ordinances that have an impact on growth and development within our community. The Town Council held four workshops in March, April and May. The content of those discussions focused on the public concerns stated above, and how we should move forward during the next year.

The Town Council has identified a plan for moving forward that is captured in the attached resolution. This plan will focus on developing a vision/values plan for the future of our community while evaluating and improving several aspects of land use planning and regulation, ordinance development, and communication and outreach with residents.

A copy of the resolution is attached.
