Comprehensive Plan Update

The Comprehensive Plan is the city’s policy document for land use and related decision-making.  For example, the Comprehensive Plan is used by the Planning Commission and City Council when it makes decisions related to zoning, subdivision (platting), public facilities and redevelopment.  While the plan does not include more detailed development concept plans for particular sites or designs for public facilities improvements, it does set the stage and provide guidance for such plans and designs to be developed later.

On February 20, 2007, the City Council appointed a 27-member citizen task force to work on an update of the Comprehensive Plan.
