Russo, City Manager <br /> FROM: Claudia Hasbun, Planning and Zoning Administrator <br /> DATE: 5/19/2016 <br /> RE: City's Comprehensive Plan Amendments <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Approval of this ordinance is recommended. <br /> REASONS: <br /> The City Comprehensive Plan document is the blueprint for the existing <br /> and future development of the City. The Plan's goals and policies <br /> reflect the City's vision for its future, and for how it will meet the needs <br /> of existing and future residents, visitors and businesses. <br /> The Comprehensive Plan was initially adopted in October 2000 and <br /> later modified in 2007; this is the second modification through the <br /> Evaluation and Appraisal Report process (EAR), which is a state- <br /> mandated assessment of the Comprehensive Plan to ensure that all <br /> current statutory requirements are being met. During this process the <br /> City has the opportunity to step back and take a holistic look at how well <br /> the Plan is working and how it might be refined to address community <br /> specific issues and challenges. <br /> The City started the EAR process a year ago and during that time, we <br /> went through multiple meetings with different stakeholders of the <br /> community; a detailed outline of the public participation is part of the <br /> attached report. The EAR report with amendments was sent to the <br /> State Department of Economic Opportunities (DEO) and to all required <br /> 173 <br />
