Approved: September 19,2024    September 3, 2024  22  2024 Comprehensive Plan Implementation Plan  On March 20, 2024, the Board ofCommissioners adopted the 2045 Comprehensive Plan. During the drafting of the Comprehensive Plan, staff stated the implementation plan would be created after plan adoption to avoid confusion and prevent unnecessary simultaneous editing. The Implementation Plan has been completed. It displays every action step listed in the 2045 Comprehensive Plan in order and by phase and responsible party. The Planning Board unanimously voted to recommend the plan for acceptance at their meeting on July 18th. This document was to be considered a working document that could be amended by the Planning Board and the Board of Commissioners as various changes in the community occur that may pivot the County's priorities. The need for flexibility was why the plan should be "accepted" and not "adopted" like the Comprehensive Plan was. The Board may more easily change the prioritization of activities but would need to amend the Comprehensive Plan to change any content per North  Carolina General Statutes.

At.tsJ July 18-meeting, theP PlanningB Boardv votedu unanimously torecommendthe Responsible partiesy wi priontize action: stepsy withne each; phase ands submit themto Commissioner Hill had conçerns about some of the entities included in the implementation plan. He believed Green Growth Toolbox, the Regional Resiliency Advisory Board, and Riverlink were progressive "policy-pushing" entities who pushed regulations that would increase housing costs, living costs, and taxes. He said each of those entities push for climate change and he did not favor  the inclusion of progressive influence in the comprehensive plan.  Approved: September 19,2024    September 3, 2024  23  Commissioner Andreotta's comments were as follows: "Echoing what Mr. Hill said, Ijust heard this morning, that nationwide, 23% ofe every new home construction project is due to regulatory demands. So, if you want to reduce the cost of housing, reduce needless regulations. Unsurprisingly, 48% ofall new home costs in California are due to regulations. The concept ofa state-forced comprehensive land use plan, which is citizen-owned land, made me uncomfortable at the very beginning. Isee this becoming a sword of power to be wielded. Someone wants aj piece of land rezoned in a way that makes sense for the citizen who owns it, and they must make sure it aligns with some page or paragraph in the comprehensive land use plan. These kinds of things make me nervous the state forces us to do this. We heard people during the months, and I do mean plural months, sharing their views that they wanted this; many people are still not satisfied with the plan we have; they do not think it has enough teeth or enough change or restraints. Folks, we broke away from England in the old days sO we could own land and have some rights in part. This is Henderson County, and I have been here my whole life. What this does is pave the way for special interests of whatever nature and kind to govern land that citizens own. Citizens pay for it; we tax them on it. Iam in favor of anything we can do tol keep the freedom that is granted by our creator and affirmed by our nation's documents when it comes to land use. No,Idon'tbelieveyour need to have an asphalt plant next to an elementary school, but this agenda of land use guidelines isg getting increasingly militant. It is getting more and more finite in its rules and regulations. You tie a boat to a dock, not because it will take off at warped speed into the ocean but because it will drift out with the tides. These things drift in, and citizen and landowner rights get eroded. Let's Senior Planner Janna Bianculli noted that all the action steps included had already been adopted. To amend the comprehensive plan and change any action steps, aj public hearing would have to be held. Coordinating resources would be an option for a responsible party, like the Planning Board or someone else, to talk to if they wanted that information. She said the coordinating resources Commissioner Hill made the motion to accept the 2045 Implementation Plan with the revision to remove the following Coordinating Resources: Regional Resiliency Advisory Board, Green Growth Toolbox, and Riverlink, and that only local entities are included for coordinating  protect those even if no one else does."  category could be eliminated.  resources.
