The Housing and Land Use Committee makes recommendations to the board on zoning matters and attempts to resolve land use issues identified by residents and/or businesses. This committee does this by conducting public hearings and providing an opportunity for community members to voice their concerns and ask questions. The Committee uses the Macalester-Groveland Long Range Plan as a guide for evaluation. The committee usually meets the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. at Edgcumbe Recreation Center, and is staffed by the Community Council’s Community Organizer, Melissa Martinez-Sones. In July of 2001, the Community Council revised its Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, which serves as a blueprint to future development and community improvements.
