The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council with information about the update
process for the 2010 Comprehensive Plan.
On February 24, 2009, the City Council adopted the 2009 Comprehensive Plan. The Planning
and Development Department has now started the annual update process for the 2010
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is updated annually to provide reliable
information about the City's growth and development, to review the status of the City's programs
and projects, and to identify programs and projects that should be considered for funding in the
City's budget.
On May 27, the Planning and Development Department will brief the City Plan Commission on
the update process. The Planning and Development Department also proposes to conduct
district - specific work sessions with City Council, City Plan Commission, and Zoning Commission
members in June and July. Planning and Development Department staff will contact each
Council member to schedule these work sessions. The proposed schedule to produce the 2010
Comprehensive Plan is attached as Exhibit A.
The Planning and Development Department will encourage public participation in the update
process by distributing newsletter articles and summary brochures to community organizations.
Staff will also meet individually with various community groups and neighborhood alliances at
their request.
New this year is the Comprehensive Plan Progress Report that will be based on the City Council
strategic goals and the objectives in the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning and Development
Department will meet with each department to discuss their pertinent outcome measures and
objectives.
The Planning and Development Department will proceed with the update process as outlined in
Exhibit A unless directed otherwise. Should you have any questions, please contact Susan
Alanis, Planning and Development Director, at 817- 392 -8180.
