August 1, 2022: The planning team is now underway in developing the Draft General Plan. This will take some time to develop, so stay tuned. Once the draft is complete it will be presented at a public open house for comment before going on for adoption.
July 19, 2022: The planning team presented the preferred planning concepts to the combined City Council and Planning Commission. The Downtown revitalization concept was generally agreed upon. Mixed use on North County Blvd would only be acceptable if all the ground floor were commercial. The proposed neighborhood center in the north end of the City will be removed from the plan. The preferred concepts will now be refined in detail as a part of developing the draft plan.
July 13, 2022: The Advisory Committee met with the planning team to discuss the feedback received from the Public Workshop. The committee generally felt like Downtown revitalization and some mixed use at the future transit station on North County Blvd were good ideas to incorporate into the plan. The preferred concepts will next be presented to the City Council.
June 11, 2022: A Public Workshop was held in conjunction with the Strawberry Days Fireman’s Breakfast to present initial concepts for land use and transportation to the public. We had more than 100 people in attendance and received 36 responses to a short questionnaire. This feedback will be used to help narrow in on preferred concepts for the General Plan.
May 19, 2022: Presented the findings from the Public Open House and online public comments to the Advisory Committee and City Officials. The notes have been digitized and can be found under the Advisory Committee tab. We are preparing proposals for the next phase of public engagement. The date for the next public workshop meeting will be posted in the Public Engagement tab as soon as they are finalized.
April 1, 2022 - April 30, 2022: Advertised the project website and took public comments through Social Pinpoint and emailed entries. We heard from over 300 residents!
March 31, 2022: Held a public open house and invited members of the community to give feedback on General Plan topics through interactive presentation boards. The results have been digitized and can be found under the Public Engagement tab.
March 9, 2022: The planning Team met with the Advisory Committee to introduce the planning process. Notes from this meeting can be found in the Advisory Committee tab. We prepared for the first Public Open House (see the Public Engagement tab).
