Background and Analysis:
The Comprehensive Plan Update was initiated in 2009. With adoption of the Consent Agenda we officially approved our Comprehensive Plan. Since 2009 there have been many opportunities for public participation and many hours of deliberation by the Planning Commission and the City's other Boards and Commissions as well as the City Council. This tremendous effort has resulted in a Comprehensive Plan that is representative of our community's vision and its aspirations. Staff wishes to thank the City Council, Planning Commission, our partners and public for their efforts.
We would also like to recognize the tremendous effort that City staff has put into this process. The development of the Comprehensive Plan was truly an example of your City staff "working together to make a difference".
We look forward to moving forward with the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan through the development of the Action Plan, Downtown Strategic Plan, subarea plans and many other implementing steps and continuing to involve the City Council, Planning Commission, other boards and commissions, partners and the public as we move from planning to action.
