We would like to update the Council on the preliminary planning process that has been outlined by staff. Most notably, the plan includes a shift in the substance, form and role of the comprehensive plan. This includes a major shift in accessibility of the plan through easier-to-read language and an easier-to-use organization of the document. The 2040 plan will highlight the shared vision for the future of the community and will be organized around shared community values. The plan will be action-oriented to ensure its utility and impact on the day-to-day operations of the city. Additionally, staff is proposing an annual progress review and report of the comp plan’s goals to assure accountability and transparency. To strengthen the planning process and build community support for the plan, staff is proposing an extensive customer service-oriented community engagement process. Staff would like to utilize several community engagement techniques to reach the maximum number of stakeholders and create an inclusive process.
