Input Thus Far

Thanks to all who have engaged with us up to this point and given input! We have sorted through everyone's comments from all input channels and the following themes have emerged as most commonly mentioned:

1. Preserve open space, prevent sprawl, help farmers keep their land undeveloped
2. Zoning is a good thing and is needed in the planning area to control growth
3. Need for more recreational trails and bike paths in the planning area that connect to downtown
4. Industrial uses that exist near residences are not compatible
5. Avoid dense housing developments like River Rock
6. Prevent more gravel pits from locating in the planning area
7. Prevent development without connection to water/sewer
8. Traffic issues come with dense developments like River Rock
9. Need for more restaurants and retail in the planning area (not just concentrated downtown)
10. Need for Dark Skies policy to prevent light pollution

We are now working on creating draft zone districts and will be holding a public meeting to get input on the draft map in the next month.
