She shared community engagement findings from what was learned at various meetings and online <br /> 73 engagement. <br /> 74 <br /> 75 Emily Gvino presented methods and findings from the first Community Engagement Window of three to occur <br /> 76 over the course of the Plan, including statistics on community goals and visions for the County. Ms. Gvino <br /> 77 summarized the importance of this data for guiding next steps in developing policy guidance to balance land <br /> 78 use needs and community priorities. <br /> 79 <br /> 80 Leigh Anne King discussed using results from the Strategic Plan Survey relating to land use to help build a <br /> 81 better representative sample, since all community engagement responses for the Comprehensive Land Use <br /> 82 Plan surveys have been self-selected while the Strategic Plan survey was conducted to be statistically <br /> 83 significant. Ms. King also reviewed project deliverables that are currently or soon to be available, including the <br /> 84 Community Policy Profile, stakeholder interview summary reports, a data fact book, and maps. Ms. King <br /> 85 detailed next steps on the project, including a similar briefing to the Board of Commissioners, a presentation at <br /> 86 the Agricultural Summit, publishing the fact book on the website, and then developing the Plan beginning <br /> 87 Summer 2024. <br /> 88 <br /> 89 Vice-Chair Proctor invited all Planning Board members to ask questions. <br /> 90 <br /> 91 Beth Bronson: Did you say that the results of the Community Engagement Workshop would be available <br /> 92 on the website under the resource tab? <br /> 93 <br /> 94 Leigh Anne King: Yes, we'll have a summary report specifically for the first round of engagement that will <br /> 95 have the documentation that you saw here as well as verbatim comments when people wrote on Post-It notes <br /> 96 or wrote in online, all of that will be documented in that report. <br /> 97 <br /> 98 Beth Bronson asked about the option of continuing to keep surveys open past the engagement window to <br /> 99 potentially have input for the County that would not be captured in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. <br />
