TITLE
A request by the Chatham County Board of Commissioners to consider a technical revision to the Chatham County Comprehensive Plan.
ABSTRACT
Action Requested:
Vote on a request by the Chatham County Board of Commissioners to consider a technical revision to the Chatham County Comprehensive Plan.
Introduction & Background:
During the November 20, 2017 Commissioners meeting the comprehensive plan, Plan Chatham, was adopted by unanimous vote. After adoption it is was discovered that there was a duplication of several sentences in the introduction to the Resiliency section on page 111 that needs to be corrected.
Discussion & Analysis:
During the Planning Board review of the comprehensive plan they recommended that the Resiliency section be revised to delete the last two sentences of the introduction and replaced with wording provided by the Chatham County Climate Change Committee. The climate change committee wording included a duplication of language that was in the draft plan document, which was then included in the document that was adopted by the Commissioners. The proposed revision is included as an attachment.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan:
Goal 8: Become more resilient by mitigating, responding and adapting to emerging threats.
Recommendation:
Vote to accept the deletion of duplicated language on page 111 of the comprehensive plan, Plan Chatham, as shown in the attachment.
