Public Engagement in Land Use Task Force

In December 2007, the County Council passed Council Resolution 132-2007 which established the Public Engagement in Land Use Task Force (PELU). The task force will study the land use process and recommend ways to involve the public more broadly.

The Council established the task force following conversations with constituents and land use practitioners, who expressed an interest in expanding opportunities for public involvement in land use planning. Composed of residents and representatives of the development community, the task force is charged with the following specific tasks:

1. Examine current opportunities for public engagement in the land planning process;
2. Identify opportunities for clarifying and improving public participation; and
3. Recommend potential legislative and administrative actions for the Council to consider.
