Hi all,
In going through the plan, I may have missed what I’m about to whine about. If so, please forgive me for already having a different full plate.
After my, admittedly, light perusal of the Comp Plan, I came away thinking the grand vision for a dense and walkable future will not be realized without a couple of significant policy
recommendation additions.
If residential density and walkability is a goal, then parking policy MUST be addressed so to greatly minimize the asphalt, sprawl, and lack of walkability that parking policy currently
mandates.
If a dense and walkable commercial core is a goal, then it is essential there be traditional mixed-use zoning. I only see antiquated zoning that got us into the car-oriented mess.
Without these two changes, our county will continue its climate-killing, GHG heavy, car-oriented development pattern: sprawled, unwalkable.
I strongly encourage you undertake these necessary changes.
Yours,
Scott G. Walker
