The City's current Comprehensive Development Plan was adopted on November 17, 1994 and has been amended three times since its adoption, the latest amendment was in August of 2002.
In 2008 the City Planning Commission developed a timeline to update the City's Comprehensive Development Plan. A draft is now available for review:
2008-2018 Comprehensive Development Plan Draft
The purpose of the Comprehensive Development Plan is to set forth direction for land use decision-making. The plan also provides a frame of reference and blueprint for future public and private development and investment.
This plan also contains goals-policies-objectives as a device to direct growth, development and change and is used as a guide in drafting amendments to the Zoning Ordinance.
If you would like a copy of the Comprehensive Development Plan it is available at City Hall for $27.50 or you may view it for free at the link above.
