Development and the Comp Plan

95% of development project approvals conform to the City's Comprehensive Plan 

Description:

This strategic result calculates the number of approved development cases that are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is a long range planning document which outlines future land use areas throughout the city. 

The document is created with a significant amount of community input. The goal of the document is to be able to establish predicable development patterns within the city, which are consistent with the community's vision. Ensuring that development projects conform with the Comprehensive Plan, helps ensure that new development aligns with overall community vision. 

Significance:

When the target for this strategic result is reached on an ongoing basis, we know that most development projects conform to the Community's vision of development as defined by the Land Development Code (LDC). 

Projects which require changes to the Comprehensive Plan must first be approved by City Council. If City Council feels it is appropriate to modify the Comprehensive Plan below the target,  it will be important to go through a process to understand how those changes impact the overall community vision.
