P & Z Needs your Input !
THE P & Z WANTS YOUR INPUT ….. so, Why Should You Care
There will be a public hearing in connection with the discussion of plans for the future of Abilene at the next Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. To make it easier for citizens to attend, the meeting will be in the evening at 5:30 in the City Council chambers on November 16th. The only item on the agenda for the evening will be the Land Development Code “which will define development and the fabric of our town for the next 20 to 25 years”, said Tim McClarty, commission chairman. I, as AAIBO Executive Director, have heard the members of the commission say on several occasions that they want to hear what the public thinks about plans for the future. The P & Z realizes that changes that are proposed by the city planners and their citizens committees will affect how the city will develop in the future. As commissioner McClarty said, “It’s a very important document that tells us what our future’s going to look like and lays the groundwork for that, …it’s our road map for the future.” He went on to say that the general public does not understand that. So, here is your opportunity to tell the P & Z what you think. Should you want information before the meeting you may contact the planning office at the city hall, 555 Walnut Street, or you might want to talk to the P & Z commissioners. AAIBO members and guests will be able to hear Tim McClarty at our next monthly meeting at the Abilene Country Club at noon on Wednesday November 11th. Make reservations by e-mail at AAIBO.com. Please attend, tell your friends and business associates, and bring your questions and comments with you because Tim wants to hear from you. Proposed changes to the Land Development Code will affect you…that’s why you should care.
