CPAC Mission Statement 

The Lexington Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee, a committee appointed by the Planning Board, has been formed to  engage a broad spectrum of the Lexington community to develop a visionary plan for the future physical development of Lexington. This plan will be developed to meet the future needs of the community and will be recommended for adoption by the Lexington Planning Board per M.G.L. Ch. 81D.

CPAC Vision

• To develop a collective vision of what Lexington is and should be through a Town-wide process that engages residents and builds consensus around land use, establishing preservation, conservation and development goals toward the equitable and sustainable growth of our community.
• To establish the policies and funding mechanisms to implement that vision.

Committee Charge The Lexington Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC), a committee appointed by the Planning Board, has been formed to engage a broad spectrum of the Lexington community in developing a visionary plan for the future physical development of Lexington.  This draft plan will be developed in concert with community stakeholders to meet the future needs of the community and will be recommended for adoption by the Lexington Planning Board per MGL Ch. 81D.

The CPAC must conduct its meetings and communications according to the Open Meeting Law, MGL Ch. 30A.

Members The CPAC comprised of thirteen (13) members drawn from a variety of Lexington’s neighborhoods or voting precincts, reflecting the range of age, gender, and ethnicity of Lexington’s population, ideally with relevant knowledge/experience in the planning elements or in public engagement methods.  It is desirable and strategic for a number, but less than half, of Committee members to be Town Meeting Members.  Members’ terms will be three years, or until the Planning Board acts to adopt the Comprehensive Plan (expected in the spring of 2020).  Non-voting Liaisons of the Board of Selectmen, Planning Board, and School Committee will be designated to relay those bodies’ input and to report to those bodies on the work of the Committee.  The Committee will work with consultant(s), landowners, residents, business owners, Town Officials and Town staff through an open, public, inclusive process to develop the plan for the Planning Board’s consideration for adoption as the Town’s planning policy under MGL Chapter 81D.

In accordance with the charge of the CPAC, meeting minutes for each CPAC meeting were captured.
