1. What is the City's Comprehensive Plan?

The Comprehensive Plan is both a broad vision for the future and a blueprint for change, especially as it relates to the growth of the city’s buildings, streets, and infrastructure. Once adopted, the Comprehensive Plan will become a fundamental part of City policy. It will serve as both an inspiration for a wide (i.e., “comprehensive”) range of City actions and a standard by which they can be measured.

A comprehensive plan:

• Guides decision-making about development/conservation


• SProvides a framework for capital improvements


• Provides residents with a basis for accountability of decisions


• Enables neighboring municipalities to understand your community’s planning program


• Enhances the City’s competitiveness in grant applications


• Facilitates the environmental review process for projects
