Lisa Miller and Kayla Seibel talked about the final stages in adopting a new Comprehensive Plan. The process of creating a new Comprehensive Plan started in 2019 and previously approved parts on plans and objectives and place types and maps. What is new
is the implementation section. The plan is supposed to guide how the county grows and develops, is used to evaluate zoning requests and annexations, informs work plans for various government departments, and affects the changes in the rules (the UDO). The
last plan is 17 years old, so it doesn’t well match where we are now. Using the community engagement guide has enabled us to incorporate equity objectives. The full draft plan came out yesterday. Online engagement will be open until March 30, and there
are a number of events. They expect final approval will come at a joint City Council / BOCC hearing and vote in August. There was a question on how do the privately-initiated changes to the UDO fit with this process of engagement to find out what the community
desires; Planning’s response was that the privately-initiated changes may reflect what the new plan envisions, and based on the Comprehensive Plan implementation, we may be need to revise this change as we rewrite the UDO. Planning staff does have concerns
about the privately-initiated process in light of our desire to have equitable engagement of the entire community. How SE Durham is developing is totally out of line with what the new Comprehensive Plan envisions in terms of sustainable growth. One improvement
in the current process is to be more intentional in detecting the need for evolution (including the engagement process for that detection) and doing that evolution. The key resources for information are:</span></p>

to negotiate. Mimi K, Tom, Sherri, and Bonita will be on committee to study the Anthony amendment and suggest an INC response; they will reach out to others who might want to be on the committee, and Mimi K volunteered to lead the effort. Stephen will look
