On motion it was, Voted to approve the Planning Process Committee Charge as presented: The Committee, in consultation with the Department of Planning and Community Development and the Town Administrator, is charged with developing a time line, work program, budget and scope for an inclusive, community-driven planning and zoning reform process. Specifically, the Committee should: 1) Summarize why the Town needs to update their Comprehensive Plan now. Most communities undergo an update to their Master Plan when they are a community that is planning on growth, anticipating significant demographic shifts in a short period, expecting a physical change such as sea level rise or new transit stations, and/or experiencing new land use trends that they would like to discourage or encourage. In other words, what is the risk for Brookline if the Comprehensive Plan is not updated? 2) Review other community Comprehensive Plans and the regional Metropolitan Area Planning Council's regional plan to identify best practices that would be appropriate for Brookline's Comprehensive Plan. For example, although state law defines elements (e.g., Land Use, Circulation, etc.) that should be included when a Master Plan is completed, many modern Comprehensive Plans are organized across these segmented elements so that a cohesive, prioritized Town policy directive is laid out. 3) Review prior planning studies and make a recommendation on which of these should be incorporated, rather than duplicated, duri

Recommends to the Planning Board and Select Board a detailed scope and budget for the Comprehensive Planning process, including staff and volunteer time b. Recommends to the Select Board an estimated budget for the Zoning Reform process, including staff and volunteer time, which will need to be updated once the Comprehensive Planning process is complete.”
