Social, Environmental Justice, And Hazards Mitigation Comp Plan Elements To Be Considered At November 4th Planning Board Hearing

 From David Carter, New Castle County Council -

Legislative Update
 

On September 8, I introduced Ordinance 20-101 which will amend Chapter 28.01.003 (Comprehensive Planning) to require a Social Justice Element, An Environmental Justice Element, and a Hazards Mitigation Element to be included in the 2022 Comprehensive Plan, and all Comprehensive Plans thereafter. 

These issues are important as we move forward as a county to ensure equity and inclusion in our policy development and zoning recommendations. 

There is no Hazard Mitigation in our comprehensive plan; which I found surprising, not only after Tropical Storm Isaias, but the response to the industrial leak of dangerous ethylene oxide gas into nearby communities from CRODA.  The Hazard Mitigation plan should include considerations to all infrastructure, community level communications, preparedness, and other non-structural measures, with particular attention being given to the safety of vulnerable communities related to natural and man-made hazards.  

This Ordinance is currently tabled as I have agreed to place it in front of the Planning Board for their November 4th Public Hearing.  I encourage anyone to participate and give their feedback on this legislation.

[Zoom instructions for access to the meeting are included on the 7 p.m. November 4, 2020 NCC Planning Board Public Hearing Agenda HERE]

NCC Comprehensive Plan Workshop - 6PM Wednesday, October 21st (RSVP)

 

Comprehensive Plan Meetings

The Comprehensive Plan shapes the future of New Castle County.  We would like this to be a community-driven process, as public feedback is key to ensuring an equitable and inclusive future for our community. 

The next meeting in the "Let's Talk" workshop series will take place on October 21 at 6:00 PM.  The meeting will be conducted virtually, and you can register here. 

This meeting will be Our Places and Spaces and will focus on:

• What makes our communities special and makes them places where we want to live, work, play, and enjoy
• The design of our communities, from vibrant landscapes and pedestrian friendly community design, to a compatible mix of residential, retail, and/or commercial uses
• Maintaining, preserving, and enhancing the character or charming features of our neighborhoods that are attractive, meaningful, or interesting.

REGISTER HERE

Future Virtual Workshops Include:

• November 9: Our Environment and Nature
• November 18: NCC@2050 Fall Forum. More details to be announced soon!
