DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND

Implementation of the City's Comprehensive Plan is currently the City Council's top priority.

 

In January, 2018, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for services to assist with a consistency review of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Municipal Code. The purpose is to identify where inconsistencies and gaps exist between the Comprehensive Plan and implementing regulations, and to organize an approach to address and resolve these items in a time-effective manner. 

 

The City received six proposals and selected BERK Consulting, in partnership with The Watershed Company, to assist with this effort. The project will undertake a comprehensive consistency review, identify a docket of potential changes, develop and apply a prioritization tool to the items identified in the docket, and create a prioritized workplan to guide implementation.

 

This work will occur through a close partnership between City staff and the consulting team. Regular workshop opportunities with the City Council are also planned.

 

This presentation will describe the project scope in more detail, will highlight anticipated City Council participation, and will review overall timelines and deliverables.
