In November 2021, the City Council adopted the 2022 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Final Docket that included three City-initiated proposals to study each subarea and to consider the feasibility and impact of rezoning to encourage the creation of more housing options and to broaden the city’s tax base.
An extensive public participation process will start soon and continue throughout 2023. The process will reach out to subarea residents as well as the general public to determine how the community would like the subareas grow and develop.
In the fall of 2022, the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Comprehensive Plan amendments, to establish basic policies that can help guide future planning efforts in these areas. These policies will not include any map changes or rezones this year. The City Council will use the Planning Commission recommendation and public input to make a final decision on adopting Comprehensive Plan policies.
The results of this project will also be used to develop an annexation strategy for the unincorporated areas within each subarea. No annexation is currently being proposed, nor has a timeline been discussed for adopting an annexation strategy or to annex any areas into the city.
