How does the Planning Department select the area plans and plan amendments it will work on each year?
Because planning staff typically receives many more requests for area plans than they have resources to accommodate, the Area Plan Assessment Process was developed to define and prioritize where planning efforts are needed and where resources should be focused. Each January, an interdepartmental team reviews and requests based on considerations, such as recommendations of previous planning initiatives, increases in rezoning activity inconsistent with the adopted plan, policy changes, demographic changes, transportation/infrastructure improvements, and gaps in planning initiatives. Selected plans are then incorporated into the work program.
