Map Amendments

Following two years of public engagement and staff analysis, the City Council adopted the 2024 Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map on April 14, 2025. The Land Use Map outlines general areas designated for residential, commercial, and employment uses, while individual zoning districts establish development standards such as setbacks and density. Some parcels in the City currently have zoning that does not reflect their Land Use designation. This project aims to correct those inconsistencies to ensure zoning and land use designations are compatible. Conflicts between zoning and land use designations can lead to uncertainty for property owners, delays in the permit review process and maintain that future development reflects the goals outlined in the Comprehensive Plan.
