City of Milton recently issued the following announcement.
Milton’s Planning Commission meets Wednesday evening to discuss how to define what is an “outdoor auditorium” as well as review where the City is – and where it’s going – in implementing key aspects of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
The March 23 meeting starts at 6 p.m. in City Hall’s Council Chambers at 2006 Heritage Walk. People can attend in person or watch the meeting live online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugjnhwRg9Ug.
The Planning Commission will explore two proposed text amendments to City Code that would formally define an “Outdoor Auditorium” under the Crabapple and Deerfield form-based codes. (This board, as well as several others, were involved in formalizing definitions of an “Indoor Auditorium” in those same two areas that the City Council recently approved.)
Although the use is listed as a potential in both form-based codes, there’s no definition given for an “Outdoor Auditorium.” The proposal is to define it as “any non-publicly owned or operated property improved with a permanent structure used for performances and entertainment and intended to be used for the gathering of people for public or private assembly.”
This same matter was deferred from the Planning Commission’s February meeting agenda.
The next topic on Wednesday will be the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan. City officials, City staff and engaged citizens – including many members of the Planning Commission, several of whom belonged to the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) – worked together to create this critical, detailed, action-oriented guide to priorities, policies and projects for Milton’s government to tackle. The goal is to develop a strategy so that 20 years from now Milton can be what its citizens and leaders envisioned.
The City Council approved the 2040 Comprehensive Plan last October. You can review that Plan by clicking HERE: https://www.cityofmiltonga.us/home/showpublisheddocument/5494/637756853396130000. And you can revisit the months-long, citizen-driven process behind creating it – including explanations, videos, presentations and other resources – at www.cityofmiltonga.us/ComprehensivePlan.
The Plan includes an extensive array of “short-term work programs” intended to guide policymakers on everything from land use issues to transportation to sustainability to economic development to branding and placemaking.
On Wednesday night, members of the Community Development Department staff will update the Planning Commission on what the City government has done and what it plans to do in the coming months in relation to the short-term work programs.
After this meeting, the Planning Commission is next set to convene on April 27.
