The hard work of reviewing the Comp Plan Elements is done and they are being sent to the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) and the state Department of Commerce (DOC) for their mandatory, approximately 60 -day, review. While that is in process, this Commission now has the chance to do its internal review of the Preface, Introduction and Background and Context Sections of the Comp Plan. This is a first look at them to get a feel of the tone of these sections and how they might need to be revised. There is no hard deadline; but we will want to have this task completed sometime in late June. These sections are not reviewed by any other government body. They will serve to tee up the main elements of the 2024 Comp Plan Update when it’s finalized. T hese chapters are unique to Medina, but the updates should discuss the changes in the City since 2015, as well as harmonize these introductory and background sections with the revised 2024 Comp Plan Update sections. At this meeting, staff will present the updated Comp Plan Timeline and discuss the remaining work (next steps) of the Commission related to the Comp Plan. Staff will go over the upcoming SEPA Environmental Checklist process (with its public comment period) as well. 6 AGENDA ITEM 6.2 7 AGENDA ITEM 6.2 8 AGENDA ITEM 6.2 9 AGENDA ITEM 6.2 10 AGENDA ITEM 6.2 11 AGENDA ITEM 6.2 12 AGENDA ITEM 6.2 13 AGENDA ITEM 6.2 14 AGENDA ITEM 6.2 15 AGENDA ITEM 6.2 16 AGENDA ITEM 6.2 17 AGENDA ITEM 6.2 18 AGENDA ITEM 6.2
