Councilman Dave Carter sent this along ~

We wanted to take this opportunity to let the community know that the Comprehensive Plan will be heard by County Council Land Use Committee on July 19, 2022 at 3:00pm the meeting will be live-streamed via ZOOM as well as in person at the City/County Building (800 N. French St, Wilmington)

There will be an opportunity for public comment during the Land Use Committee meeting both via ZOOM or in person depending on the preference. 

We have heard the concerns of the community expressed at the other public meetings on the Comprehensive Plan, and the Land Use Committee meeting is one more opportunity to have your voice be heard by County Council.

A final vote on the Comprehensive Plan is likely to be at the County Council meeting on July 26, 2022.

From the MOT Alliance ~ The Planning Board and Department of Land Use Conditional Approval recommendation of the plan

They conditionally approved the plan, with 11 or 12 specific conditions. They did not discuss them individually and I only was able to get a screenshot of the first five (they requested a specific definition of open space and a specific target acreage for conservation, which was one of the asks made by MOT and several community groups it arranged to partner with). But, my general impression was that they are passing this along to County Council relatively unrevised. Also, it looked like they were recording the meeting as well. Not sure how to access that, though.

Thanks to Councilman David Carter for the link! In case anyone else wants to listen: recording of the meeting HERE
