2040 Comprehensive Plan Proposed Amendments

The draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan document was transmitted to the state for review in June 2021. Proposed amendments to the document were considered by the stakeholder committee in July of 2021. Since the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan document was under review by the state, the additional changes could not be made at that time. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan was reviewed and approved by the state and adopted by the Mayor and Council on October 12, 2021.

These amendments under consideration for the 2040 Comprehensive Plan are required to go through the public hearing process in order to obtain public input on the proposed amendments, available here. The City sought feedback and comments from the public regarding the proposed amendments in early January 2022.
