Process and Outreach <br />The 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update began in January 2017 with <br />a series of Open Houses and meetings with community leaders. Our <br />goal was to understand how the community had evolved since 2008 <br />and what strengths, opportunities, and challenges the City faced as <br />we look to planning for 2040. Throughout the year, the City held a <br />series of interactive workshops and open houses that focused on <br />different challenges for the City. Meetings were supplemented by a <br />newsletter that was emailed to interested property owners, online <br />surveys, and through social media. Residents were encouraged <br />to either attend meetings or provide feedback through alternative <br />means. <br />The City had robust response to the outreach efforts with an average <br />response of xx per topic. Input and ideas from residents and property <br />owners has been incorporated into this plan.This plan replaces the <br />last major Comprehensive Plan prepared by the City in 2008 and <br />all updates to that plan. This is a 20 -year plan for how the City will <br />develop, but the City recognizes that State Law requires an update <br />within 10 years and changing conditions in the City may require <br />amendments before that time. <br />1-1UG0 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 <br />INTRODUCTION AND VISION 9 <br />for review only <br />
