By maintaining the Comprehensive Plan we maintain the City’s planning requirements under State law to give the City their local qualified government status which enables us to maintain the ability to use grant funding for a variety of state programs. The partial update has no major changes from the full comprehensive update of 2005, essentially it includes an updated list of goals and policies, an updated short term work program and also an updated City land use map.
