I don't know how much the "public information" means "informing the public" or "finding out what the public knows that planning needs to understand"  (-:

Durham City and County Set Informational Meetings on Proposed Changes to Future Land Use Map




DURHAM, N.C. - Property owners in an area impacted by a proposed amendment to the Durham Comprehensive Plan are receiving notices about two upcoming public information meetings designed to receive feedback on the proposed changes to the Future Land Use Map.

Residents impacted live in areas nearby planned light rail stations known as Compact Neighborhoods. The meetings will be conducted with a formal presentation at the beginning followed by resident feedback and questions.
The first meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 20, 2015 in the Githens Middle School Cafeteria, located at 4800 Old Chapel Hill Road. The October 20th meeting will focus on proposed
Future Land Use Map amendments nearby:* Leigh Village (NC 54/Interstate 40)* Patterson Place (US 15-501/Interstate 40)* South Square/MLK Jr. (US 15-501 Bypass/Business)
The second meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 27, 2015 in the Durham County Commissioners' Chambers, Old Courthouse, located on the second floor at 200 East Main Street. The October 27th meeting will focus on proposed Future Land Use Map amendments nearby:* Erwin Road (Duke/VA Medical Center)* Alston Avenue (NC 55 and Pettigrew St)
What is being proposed? The Durham City-County Planning Department is proposing to update Compact Neighborhood Tiers shown on the Future Land Use Map in five areas around the proposed Durham-Orange Light Rail stations (see above). The Future Land Use Map acts as a long-term guide for future growth and development. Whenever there is a request to rezone a property, it must be consistent with the Future Land Use Map.
What are Compact Neighborhoods? Compact Neighborhoods are areas around proposed rail stations that are envisioned, over the long-term, to host additional development that is higher density, mixed use, and walkable.
What is the purpose of this meeting? Draft reports detailing proposed changes to the Future Land Use Map are now available for your review on the project website: www.durhamnc.gov/compactneighborhoods 
Planning staff asks that residents review the draft documents and provide feedback. The meeting is an opportunity to ask questions and provide comments on the draft.
For more information, contact Hannah Jacobson, AICP, planner for the Durham City-County Planning Department at (919) 560-4137, ext. 28247 or you may also send your feedback via email to Hannah.Jacobson at durhamnc.gov.
