Summary:
The process to update the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances began in 2014. Knudson LP was hired as the consultant to assist the City in developing the update of the three documents. A public involvement plan was developed and a Steering Committee was appointed. A number of meetings and workshops were held to include the Steering Committee, Planning and Zoning Commission, City Council and City Staff. The Comprehensive Plan Update and the Subdivision Ordinance were adopted on December 20, 2016 with the third reading. A Joint Workshop of the City Council, Planning and Zoning Commission, and Steering Committee was held on November 28, 2016 to review the amendments to the Zoning Ordinance.
