The committee spent most of the meeting talking about how Joliet should grow, including where new homes and mixed-use development could fit and how zoning affects that growth. Members also discussed the difference between taxable and tax-exempt property and the need for more housing options, especially the so-called "missing middle" types between single-family homes and larger apartment buildings. City staff said the draft comprehensive plan should be ready within a few weeks, with a public workshop expected in September or October.
