In 2009, the City initiated a major update to its Comprehensive Plan. Between 2009 and 2012, City staff and the Planning Commission reached out to the community through meetings, events, personal interviews, online surveys and more. Over one thousand community members shared their insights for how we can best shape our community, face collective challenges, and meet shared goals.

Changes and Commenting on the Draft
- Changes to the Plan: There are
icons throughout the draft. Click on the icon to see a brief description of the proposed new policy direction. View a Summary List here. - Providing Feedback is Easy: At the bottom of each page you will see a link to the feedback form. Whether your comment is about format, background information, vision, goals or policies, we want to hear from you. See
What's Happening for other comment opportunities. - Improved Public Access: One key reason for updating our Comprehensive Plan is to improve public access and readability. To achieve this, staff reorganized the structure, edited for plain language, and reduced redundancy. The Plan has also been transformed into a web-based format in order to improve accessibility, and search-ability.
- A True Draft: The April Draft of the Comprehensive Plan Update is truly a draft. Not all the bells and whistles are complete. For example, we’ll want to include more links and pictures within the final version.
