This new plan will include refined vision, goals, policies, and <br />implementa�on ac�ons as well as a new Growth and Conserva�on Framework Map and categories to <br />guide development and conserva�on efforts. Community engagement windows #2 and #3 will engage <br />residents in discussions about policy choices and request reac�ons to the dra� plan components. The <br />cumula�ve inputs from community engagement windows #1-#2 along with the technical findings of Phase <br />3 will be the founda�on for Plan development. <br /> <br />The specific chapters to be included in the Plan will be decided in partnership with County Staff and Staff <br />Working Group to allow for development of the Plan concurrent with other work in Phases 2-4. The <br />Plan will address the full range of comprehensive plan topics, will include an execu�ve summary, and will <br />also include historical background that explains the evolu�on of the County’s cultural and policy context. <br />The Comprehensive Plan will be organized thema�cally and designed using a systems-based approach <br />that acknowledges and supports the linkages between planning topics, such as the importance of <br />environmental and rural character protec�on for economic development success. From the outset, the <br />Plan will be dra�ed to address equity in all aspects within the community, including environmental jus�ce, <br />transporta�on access, access to affordable housing, access to jobs and job training, access to services and <br />shopping needs, and access to recrea�onal and health ameni�es. <br /> <br />The Plan can also set out specific metrics for tracking Plan implementa�on over �me. The <br />Implementa�on sec�on can set out priori�es for implementa�on or guide the Board of County <br />Commissioners as they make annual decisions for priority ini�a�ves and projects to implement <br />considering available resources. <br /> <br />Task 4.1: Develop Dra� Plan Framework, Vision, and Goals <br />The Clarion team will prepare a staff review dra� of the dra� Plan Framework (structure and organiza�on <br />of plan) as well as new community vision themes and plan goals. The team will prepare revisions based on <br />staff feedback and prepare for review by the Staff Working Group. <br /> <br />Task 4.2: Project Team Work Session – Growth and Conserva�on Framework <br />The County Staff team and the Clarion team will conduct a project team work session focused on the land <br />use framework for the County (i.e., the future land use map and classifica�ons). This will be an in-person <br />full-day work session aimed at preparing 3-4 land use alterna�ves for project team considera�on and <br />defining the future land use map and classifica�ons that will guide future land development decisions. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 3C4C0744-8A68-4BE3-8967-7FABC6CFA5A1
