The Development Services Department is responsible for the maintenance of the City's Comprehensive Plan - Connect2Create. The Comprehensive Plan is the city’s long-range plan that will help guide decisions for the creation of our community over the next 20 years. This plan provides a vision for our community that will see the implementation of goals, strategies, and actions in the following areas of our city; community design; housing and neighborhoods; transportation and infrastructure; engagement and wellness; diversity, equity, and inclusivity; sustainability and resiliency; economic prosperity; and land use. Below you can find links for all 4 documents of the Connect2Create plan: the main document, and 3 companion documents (Community Profile, Outreach & Engagement, and the Action Plan).
