The changes done in 2022 - the 2032 planWhy are you calling it the 2022 plan? There was a 2020 Comprehensive Plan and a 2032 Comprehensive Plan.
The actual work of the 2032 Comprehensive Plan was not just rushed through. It was finalized to ensure the area had an actual zoning plan lest the area suddenly find itself without.
Because they were already off schedule from renewing the prior plan. They were overdue.
Assuming deals are in place means there are serious issues. One, comprehensive plans are not supposed to be secret. Two, they are not something that should be completed so quickly. The assumption is that recent personnel changes were actually part of settlement but any new planning changes would have included those very persons who were removed.
"serious issues" - sure, like 1A retailiation... like disenfranchisement? etc etc. This is not about purity - this is about two sides getting something negotiated.. and it's obviously something happening outside just the district board members.
Stop hanging on what would happen in a completely open, no backroom situation.. We obviously aren't there anymore. And nothing about the settlement besides "why would disney... ?" suggest an abnormal timeline for an updated Comp Plan. The trick is what are they scheming for their Developer Agreement... knowing the Comp Plan is also part of the hubbub... but can't be locked in as quickly.
Nothing about Disney’s corporate strategy changes requires a change to the comprehensive plan. Comprehensive plans aren’t that specific. Disney isn’t changing Walt Disney World to something other than a theme park resort. This is further evident that Disney is able to move forward in the mean time under the 2020 plan.
Land Management, Long Range Transportation Planning, and other topics are all part of it.. so yes, Disney's corporate strategy for WDW is very much part of the Comp Plan they'll be scheming...
Again, the district has not identified what has changed or what was problematic with the 2032 Plan. Just having different leadership is not supposed to change a comprehensive plan. Do they not intend to be a tourism district? They’re okay with the 2020 Plan and much of that was retained with the 2032 Plan. It should be incredibly easy to point to one of the few changes that is so egregious that it requires chucking the whole thing. The original board hated the plan for illegitimate purposes and you’re trying to whitewash that same desired outcome as totally normal when it is not.
You're beating a dead horse for an answer you know they don't need to give. It's not really convincing anyone.
