How is the Comprehensive Plan used?

Posted by KirstieLaatsch on Thu, 09/22/2016 - 12:17pm

As a policy document, the Plan lays out general guidance for future City actions. Many of those actions are addressed in shorter-range, more detailed plans developed by other City departments that focus on a particular aspect of City services, such as parks or transportation. The City also implements the Plan through development regulations, primarily found in the City’s zoning map and code and the Generalized Future Land Use Map. We hope that other users, such as property owners, community organizations, and developers, will also use the plan to support our shared vision of an equitable, sustainable, resilient, and healthy city.

Imagine illustrates the interaction of community input, the comprehensive plan, city ordinances, other sub-area plans, policy plans, community partnerships, city budget, and infrastructures plans.
