Comprehensive Plan Image Survey As part of the research and analysis for the 2016 Comprehensive Plan update, the Planning Commission is revisiting a Georgetown Image Survey that was completed for the 1991 Comprehensive Plan to see how county residents’ perceptions and attitudes to-wards growth have changed over the past twenty-five years. Responses from the 1991 study are documented in a final report, so we have good statistical information on com-munity attitudes toward growth at that time. Current responses to the same questions will offer good comparative information. Questions range from How should zoning pro-tect prime farmland? and What is the appropriate minimum lot size in the county? to queries on community priorities, attitudes on commercial development, and the attitudes toward our historic downtown as a commercial center. The new survey will be available June 30 on our website at http://bit.ly/gsc-img. A paper version that can be filled out by hand will also be made available, and more infor-mation on this will follow.

Mapping Your World

Since June 8, amend-ments to the Digital Submit-tal Ordinance have been in place for the City of George-town. The amendments spell out formatting and types of data required for subdivision plats and development plans. One change is that digital files are now required for minor subdivision plats and must be submitted to GSCPC before the plat can be recorded. To read the full amended Digital Submittal Ordinance, visit www.gscplanning.com/gis.
