Charrette Part 1 and 2 The exploration of where future growth should be best located was a prelude to a public dialogue on the quality of such future growth. To define a desired way for future growth to perform, the CDP included a two part charrette process. A charrette is a planning technique that has been widely applied throughout the world. It is an effort that brings together—in a compressed period of time—the talents and energies of consultants, staff, and residents to address specific planning and design issues. It provides a series of feedback opportunities so that decisions can be made and the process can move forward with the support of the public. The two How Do We Grow? charrettes are described below. How Do We Grow? Charrette Part 1 "How Do We Grow? Part 1" was conducted over a period of four days from March 27 to March 30, 2006. It consisted of a number of activities that included a Public Meeting on March 28, an Open House on March 29, and a meeting of the Steering Committee on March 30 to summarize the results. Interspersed with these activities there were meetings with stakeholders and County staff dealing with issues of infrastructure and transportation investments.
