• Economic Development
• Demographics, Cultural Vitality, Social Diversity and Well-Being

In 2023 and 2024, the City conducted a major update process for the Comprehensive Plan. The updates were formally adopted by City Council in late 2024. This included updates to the Land Use, Economic Development, Housing, and Transportation chapters. In addition, a Sustainability chapter was added to the Comprehensive Plan for the first time.

City Staff plan to update the other Comprehensive Plan chapters in an iterative process over the next few years, with full integration of the chapters and a singular, cohesive document as the final goal.
