We welcome you to go through this data. In 2014 - 2015 a group of community health leaders led by Jefferson Health Care & the Health Department started reviewing the Community Health Assessment Data for the last three years. When you look at health indicators, many things contribute to healthcare. We came up with four (4) things that healthcare providers could use to make a difference on: ➢ Access to Mental Health & Substance Abuse Treatment ➢ Healthy eating/active living/chronic disease prevention ➢ Access to health care (senior issues, prenatal care) ➢ Immunizations (For 25 years, Jefferson County has the most unimmunized population in the state.) Natural Resources Element David W Johnson Associate Planner Last updated in 1998. Propose updates to text, references and maps. Goals, policies and strategies need to be made compatible. NRP 4.1 Prohibits subdivisions of designated forest lands for residential purposes, allowing only one dwelling per each legal lot of record. In 2006 NRP 4.8 was written and it allows subdivisions of more than one dwelling per lot as long as they're protected by a buffer. NRP 4.8 is law now so I'd like to strike NRP 4.1 Al Latham's proposed changes: It appears he wants Comp Plan changes to reflect UDC: Pages 25 - 27 of your packet: Table 4.2 Guidelines for classification of Agricultural Resource Lands: #1 looking at criteria to designate agricultural he wants the addition of and/or soils of statewide significance (Agree). #2 historic uses for agriculture; lands which have not been used for a number of years (five)can be re -designated agricultural even though they haven't been used for such for five yrs. (UDC change item, (he can speak to county commissioners & let them know the issue)) #3 existing and ongoing agriculture, table 4. 2a; agriculture uses and single family should include farm worker housing (Agreed) #4 the ability to petition and be included in the agriculture 20, the land located outside master plan resort or urban growth area (he wants this removed stating Spring Rain Farm is outside the UGA.

Update and add section to view the latest legal guidance and legislative actions. Rewrite strategies and action items, specifically, which ones? Conduct economic study to determine what's economically viable in the natural resource industry. (Possible strategy, action item) go to economic development council to see if any of this has already been done. David will continue work on this. UDC AMMENDMENT Joel Peterson Associate Planner UDC amendment and proposal: There's a signed permit for Jefferson Transit Authority issued in 2014: They developed a ten acre project outside the blue zone (bus barn and facilities). The question is are they invested under to old sign code or do they need to bump up to new code. JTA wants a reader board or electronic sign, which isn't allowed. They've already purchased sign, before they got the permit. The new sign code broadens their ability, commercially. The contractor would like his bond released. Our sign code says they can't have it there. A Public hearing on this is mandatory, it will be during our November 4, 2015 meeting. PUBLIC COMMENT None FOLLOW-UP ITEMS November 4, 2015 UDC Amendment/ Proposal for Sign Code for JTA.
