He said the <br /> plan also includes goals similar to the county's draft land use plan, like discouraging sprawl, <br /> improving opportunities for mass transit, and improving opportunities for alternative transportation <br /> methods. He said those are all better served by dense infill development in municipalities than <br /> expanding out into the county. He said that some recommendations in the town's adopted plan <br /> require updated to some of the joint plans. He said the town is in the process of updating its unified <br /> development ordinance and there is a goal of having a draft completed and out to the public for <br /> review by May 2026 and adoption in August 2026. <br />
