PURPOSE: The Vision Planning Committee (VPC) will continue to foster public outreach and
communication around the implementation of the 2018 Vision Plan and work with Town staff and the
community to develop a Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP) based on the Vision Plan Goals.
APPROACH: The Vision Plan Goals will serve as the VPC's framework for development of the LCP for
review and certification under the Cape Cod Commission's Regional Policy Plan. The Vision Planning
Committee (VPC) will hold quarterly forums and other communication activities to engage and educate
the public on the Vision Plan, the implementation progress of Actions identified in the Vision Plan, and
the LCP development process. The VPC will also present quarterly progress updates to the Select Board
on Vision Plan implementation and LCP development. The VPC will prepare a draft LCP to submit to the
Commission 12 months after convening. Following Commission review and acceptance, the LCP will be
presented to Town Meeting for adoption within 18 months of the VPC convening.
MEMBERSHIP: The VPC will be comprised of nine (9) members appointed by the Select Board and will
include two (2) Vision Advisory Group members and two (2) Planning Board members. Five (5) at large
resident members will be appointed based on their knowledge of planning processes, the 8-building
blocks of the Vision Plan, and the ability to objectively shepherd the LCP process. Initial appointments
will be staggered, and consist of 3 three year term members, 3 two year term members, and 3 one year
term members. Thereafter, the appointment terms will all be 3 years. The Select Board will appoint a liaison
to the VPC as well. The VPC will be staffed by the Town Planner and consultant services, as authorized.
Other Town Staff may be made available to the VPC by the Town Administrator.
