Comprehensive Plan

Cities planning under the Growth Management Act are required to have a Comprehensive Plan. A Comprehensive Plan is a long-range planning document that outlines the city's policies, goals, and implementation strategies for guiding future growth and development in the city over the next 20 year horizon. It addresses such topics as land use, housing, recreation, transportation, utilities, and economic development. Additionally, the comprehensive plan provides the foundation to which city regulations are developed from.
