Get Involved!

Tiers of Engagement

Department of Planning and Community Development is leading this process and coordinating with all of the comprehensive plan stakeholders.

Ways to Engage

1

Community Conversations

Share your current priorities and future goals in community listening sessions with the Department of Planning and Community Development. These sessions will provide an overview of the process and a platform for your voice. 

2

Public Workshops

Engage with the City and fellow citizens in working sessions where you will review work developed by planning consultants and participate in workshops to create a cohesive vision, and supporting recommendations, actions, and projects for the Comprehensive Plan.

3

Digital Engagement

Stay tuned as we update the Comprehensive Plan website with information on the plan making process, findings from engagements, and interim work products from consultants. From time to time you will also have the opportunity to interact with engagement tools that will be made available on the website.

Next Event

The second Comprehensive Plan Public Workshop will be held on June 29, 2023.
