Planning, Land Use & Development Committee

Committee Chair: Patricia Lyon

Meeting Date: 2nd Tuesday of the month, 6pm

Mission: The role of the Planning and Land Use Committee is to advise NCWP and stakeholders about relevant planning, infrastructure, land use and/or development projects within and immediately surrounding the NCWP district in order to analyze the impacts (if any) of these projects on the quality of life of residents, stakeholders and businesses in our community.
PLUC holds public meetings to hear presentations from applicants and/or the public and after discussion and analysis, makes recommendations to the full board of NCWP.

Goals: The Goals and objectives of PLUC include the implementation of a transparent process of rendering decisions relative to planning and land use, measuring projects against local, city, state and federal guidelines and to provide a productive forum for all stakeholders to educate themselves about developments and land use issues and to enable them to contribute their comments, support and/or concerns to the process.
