What’s happening?
Every 10 years, the City is required by State law to review and update its Comprehensive Plan. This update will look out to year 2045 to show, among other things, how the City will accommodate new population and employment growth. It is also an opportunity to make sure the Plan and Development Regulations meet current state requirements that may have changed since the last major update of the Plan.
Each chapter of the Comprehensive Plan will be updated individually, with its own public participation process and opportunities to provide feedback.
This page is for the Natural Environment chapter update. To learn more about the general update process or other chapters, visit our Comprehensive Plan Update home page.
