Comprehensive Plan
What is a comprehensive plan? A comprehensive plan is required by state law to be used as a guide that provides direction and vision as to how a city will develop and grow. The plan also creates a framework for future decisions, and is used by the City Council, Planning & Zoning Commission, Park Board, City Staff, and the public in planning processes.
