Update — Angela Schumann, Community Development Director
Angela Schumann introduced the item and explained that the current Comprehensive
Plan dates to 2008. She stated that the City has hired the Lakota Group, who has teamed
up with WSB to complete a two-part process. The first phase will be a Visioning Report
with the second phase being the Comprehensive Plan. The Visioning Report will guide
the principles of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Vision Report has four components: the vision statement, value statement, preferred
growth scenarios, and goal statement. Schumann explained each of these components in
detail.
It was also noted that community engagement was important in the creation of the report.
The City and the consultants engaged a broad audience and gathered feedback from
people that typically have not been engaged in the comprehensive plan process.
Schumann explained the goal statements in detail for "economic development".
The Visioning Report is completed in draft form. A joint meeting of the City Council,
PARC, Planning Commission, and EDA would be held tonight to review the plan. The
Planning Commission would also hold a Public Hearing at their Regular Meeting tonight
to review and consider recommending the plan to the City Council. The Comprehensive
Plan would begin following the adoption of the Visioning Report.
