Chapel Hill Town Council Adopts Comprehensive Plan

Submitted by Jeff Miles on June 25, 2012 - 11:45pm
Unsurprisingly, the Chapel Hill Town Council unanimously (I think) adopted the Chapel Hill 2020 comprehensive plan earlier tonight. Despite the objections of many citizens on a number of fronts and the reluctance of some of the council members themselves, the process will now exit the extensive community input phase and enter a period of “continued engagement.” 

Though it’s unclear at this point what form that community involvement will take—from what the planning staff said tonight it appears it will mostly be small area meetings—it’s clear that if nothing else, the process has stirred people to get involved in ways that may have not been before.

Final Presentation of CH2020: Joint Meeting of the Planning Board & Sustainability Committee

Submitted by Jeff Miles on May 3, 2012 - 9:33pm
On Tuesday, June 5th at 6:00 pm there will be a joint meeting of the Planning Board and Sustainability Committee at which the final version of the Chapel Hill 2020 plan will be presented. Although only the charges of the Planning Board and Sustainability Commission require that they make a recommendation to Council regarding this plan, other boards may submit recommendations to Council if they wish. Therefore, members of all the Town’s advisory boards are encouraged to attend the presentation as it is an opportunity for them to hear the same information and have their Chapel Hill 2020 questions answered during the public hearing.
 


The final plan will return to Council on June 25th. 
 
Additional Boards which may be in attendance include: 

  • Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Board
  • Cemeteries Advisory Board 

  • Chapel Hill Public Arts Commission
  • Community Design Commission
  • Community Policing Advisory Committee
  • Greenways Commission
  • Historic District Commission
  • Human Services Advisory Board
  • Library Board of Trustees
  • Parks & Recreation Commission
  • Personnel Appeals Committee
  • Public Housing Program Advisory Board
  • Stormwater Management Utility Advisory Board
  • Transportation Board 

Date: 

Tuesday, June 5, 2012 - 6:00pm to 8:00pm

Location: 

Chapel Hill Town Council Chambers

Chapel Hill 2020 Crosses The Finish Line

Submitted by Jeff Miles on April 25, 2012 - 10:49am
Last night marked the last meeting of the stakeholder involvement portion of the Chapel Hill 2020 process. After brief introductions from the leadership of the process and town staff, the theme groups met to consider the action items drawn up by town staff based on pervious meetings. If you haven’t yet been able to have your say on 2020, you still have a few opportunities including:
  • The information meeting for the town advisory boards on Chapel Hill 2020 on May 10 at 6 p.m. in the Town Council Chamber
  • A “public information meeting” on May 14 at noon in the Town Council Chamber
  • A public hearing when the Town Council receives the plan as part of its regular meeting on May 21 at 7 p.m. in Town Council Chamber
Moving through the rest of the year and beyond, there will also be opportunities for involvement that aren’t directly related to Chapel Hill 2020.

Chapel Hill 2020 Process Changes Directions

Submitted by Jeff Miles on March 20, 2012 - 11:53pm
Chapel Hill town manager Roger Stancil opened tonight’s Chapel Hill 2020 meeting by describing where we are in the process. As part of that description, he mentioned that the town was moving out of the “intensive engagement” part of the process and into the “refine and review” process. Tonight’s meeting and some recent developments in the process seem to clearly point out that this is indeed the case.
