Planner Morrison gave a brief presentation to provide an update about the General Plan
comprehensive review process. In her presentation , she explained the history of the County’s
community planning efforts. She explained that Community Development Plans were created in
response to a call for a meaningful public role in planning. Through the General Plan update, the
Planning Department hopes to further facilitate that goal. The General Plan comprehensive review
began in 2015 and has since involved years of research, analysis, and intergovernmental coordination.
Ms. Morrison explained various components of the draft plan which include a focus on sustainability,
consistency with the island’s CDPs, and aligning layers of healthy, livable communities in an effort for a
better future planning program. She oriented listeners by walking them through the table of contents
for the plan and explaining the Mini Speakout session. The draft is planned for release in late July, early
August with a review period before the revised plan goes forward for adoption in early 2020.
