As part of the update to the City's Comprehensive Plan, the City Council identified "implementing actions" within each element (chapter) of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan assigns a priority to each item (High, Medium or Other). Many of the implementing actions have been assigned a "High" priority.

At their April 18 meeting, the City Council reviewed a document (attached) that showed the implementing actions grouped by topic clusters (“Code Consistency/Process Improvement,” "Affordable Housing,"  "Sustainability/Water Resources," “Economic Development,” “Transportation,” “Utility Planning,” and “Human Services”), including information on work program responsibilities/resources and proposed project start/end dates. At the April 18 meeting, the Council provided staff direction as to their priorities for implementing the Comprehensive Plan.  To better visualize those priorities, staff has drafted a 2017-2018 work program (the next 12 months) illustrating the planning process (legislative actions, staff work, consultant or committee work, Planning Commission, and City Council) and estimated timelines for the each project.

In addition to the draft 2017-2018 Comprehensive Plan Implementation Schedule/Work Program, attached is a draft Planning Commission schedule through June 2018. The schedule will shift over the next year, as some projects may take more or less time than estimated for preliminary work and review by the Planning Commission and City Council.

Staff would like confirmation from the City Council that the Implementation Schedule/Work Program correctly reflects Council priorities.
