Welcome to the Land Use Alternatives Page

This is where you will find all of the necessary information to learn more about the Alternatives Process, including access to the Public Review Draft Alternatives Report, participate in a community survey, and review the posters that supplement the virtual Community Workshop. Please check back regularly as we will be uploading content throughout the process. 


Alternatives Community Survey: Thank You For Your Participation!

Thank you for all of you who participated in the Alternatives Community Survey. For those of you that were unable to take the survey, there will be more opportunities in the future to participate. Your responses will be used to help choose a Preferred Land Use Alternative and guide the General Plan Update process. Please click on the link below to view a summary of the survey results.

Community Workshop #3

Thank you for those that attended Community Workshop #3, held virtually on January 13, 2022. For those of you that missed it, or were unable to attend, the workshop focused on potential land use changes as part of the General Plan Update. These land use changes are outlined in the Land Use Alternatives Report, available to download by clicking on the "Land Use Alternatives" tab at the top of this page. The presentation can be accessed by clicking on the link to the right.

You can also view the Workbook as a flipbook on screen below.

Land Use Alternatives Report

The Land Use Alternatives Report contains a series of potential land use alternatives, specifically related to future land use choices (alternatives) and circulation/mobility options. The potential land use alternatives are based on community feedback collected at the beginning of the project. This Report outlines a range of scenarios and the impact of each for the community’s consideration. The community was provided an opportunity to weigh in on the findings during Community Workshop #3, as well as by taking the community survey where all comments, suggestions, and ideas will be presented to City Council for their consideration. Decision-makers will then be asked to weigh the costs and benefits of each alternative presented in the Report and to select a “preferred land use alternative.”  The preferred land use alternative will be combined with community input and the City’s Guiding Principles, to guide the development of General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs through the conclusion of the update process.

Workshop Posters

Due to the latest developments in the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Omicron Variant, Community Workshop #3 was moved to a fully virtual/online platform. This move was done to ensure the health and safety of community members planning to participate in this upcoming event.  In an effort to keep the workshop as interractive as possible, posters were created to provide a brief overview of what is included in both the Alternative Report as well as included in the presentation. In an in-person setting, these would normally be displayed in the room where the workshop would typically be held. The posters can be downloaded by clicking in the image to the right or by clicking on the download button below.
