The Swan Valley Planning Committee held a meeting on Dec. 18 at the Swan Valley Community Center.

Agenda: The agenda was originally for the Planning Committee to look over different ways to engage the community, but due to a huge turnout by the public (estimated over 50 people), the committee and staff changed the agenda. Most people in attendance were not aware of the planning discussions that had occurred with the community council and needed context. County staff providedbackground and then answered questions. There was substantial agreement among the attendees that the committee needed to focus on the basics, like what a neighborhood plan is, and what zoning is. The committee decided to change course and at the next meeting in January do an informational presentation on neighborhood plans, and for the February meeting do an informational presentation on zoning.

Staff gave an overview of a potential work plan for the committee and a handout on the differences between a neighborhood plan and zoning. Staff answered questions from members of the public about the difference between a neighborhood plan and zoning.
