The town of Knightdale is getting ready to review its comprehensive plan.
It’s been six years since the plan was adopted, and the town has seen quite a bit of development since then.
A comprehensive plan is something like the constitution behind the zoning ordinance. Areas in the town are designated according to what type of development the committee thinks should go there. Town Council has the final say.
But as with most matters, the Knightdale residents will be able to weigh in at a public hearing.
Then the ordinance comes into place and rules are adopted. or in this case, changed, to carry out the plan.
A group of Knightdale residents have already volunteered or been selected to take on this mammoth task.
They will meet the first Thursday of every month until the job is complete.
The committee also will look at transportation issues including mass transit.
