Our subcommittee met last night and had a productive session. Lebanon residents can expect the opportunity to provide the City with feedback on the proposed Zoning Update at four Public Forums: one in each ward as well as a city-wide event that could take place at the Opera House. We held Listening Sessions in each ward as part of the Strategic Planning process last year, and I thought they were quite successful. Community members will receive a newsletter from the City announcing the forums and providing background information about the proposed Zoning Update.
Each forum will include a presentation about why the City is engaging in an update to the zoning rules and what the proposed changes are intended to achieve. After Q&A on the presentation, the citizens present will be asked to provide feedback that the Planning Board and other city officials can incorporate into the proposal that will eventually appear before Lebanon voters on the March 2008 ballot.
As I said last night, this year will be heavy on citizen engagement in Lebanon. It has to be - and our City will be better for it!
