The Georgetown-Scott County Planning Commission is updating its comprehensive plan and is revisiting an image survey from 1991 to compare current community attitudes towards growth. The new survey will be available online and in paper form at the end of June. It will ask similar questions to the 1991 survey about priorities and attitudes regarding issues like farmland protection, development, and downtown Georgetown. Construction has begun on projects around the area like a new Taco Bell and roadwork connecting roads.

May 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
