More About the Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range policy document adopted and amended by the City Council. It establishes a vision for the city, provides policy guidance for growth and development, and contains action items directed at the City to implement the vision. Our current Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2009 and amended in 2019, with policy guidance intended to shape how the city grows and develops through the year 2030.
