Comprehensive Plan Update

The Comprehensive Plan Update is available for public review and comment!

Draft 2023 Comprehensive Plan

Thank you to all of our citizens and stakeholders who have invested their time and energy into our plan update! We hope you see your vision for the community captured in the plan.

There will be a public hearing on Tuesday, September 19, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. at the Board of Commissioners regular meeting. The purpose of the hearing is to adopt the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Update. You can also reach out to Allison Duncan or any of the Planning and Zoning staff to ask questions or provide feedback. Contact information is available in the staff directory.

The Roadshow

The Roadshow was a success! The Roadshow provided opportunities for citizens to review critical elements of the land use vision before the final document was available for public review. There were a combination of online and in-person opportunities. A complete list of events can be found here. You can review the Roadshow Presentation and read a Summary of the Community Feedback.

For a deep dive on the Roadshow materials, you can find more information at the Project Blog. The blog gives greater detail on the new Character Areas, the updated Future Land Use Map, the Winston and Lithia Springs Small Area Plan Concepts, and the Parks and Greenspace Element.
