About this Series:

We know many people are interested in Plano's Comprehensive Plan Review process. While meetings may be difficult to record due to the work session format, we’ll do our best to share audio with you here on Inside Plano as a bonus content episode. The audio will be unedited unless there are sections that don’t make sense to broadcast. This means you might hear variations in sound levels and the audio will primarily capture the consultant team as they facilitate the committee’s work. Any agenda portions of the meeting edited out of the audio broadcast will be indicated in the show notes.

About this Episode:

This bonus episode contains the audio from the April 21, 2020 meeting of the Comprehensive Plan Review Committee. There are pauses in the audio while committee members participated in electronic polling and waited on the results.

The meeting agenda can be found here.

They talk through the challenges with reopening safely, explain what changes patrons should expect when they show up to work out, and answer frequently asked resident questions.
