General Plan
The General Plan is a comprehensive, long-term plan for
the physical development of the community. It repre-
sents the City’s determination of the amount, type and
timing of development needed to achieve the City’s
social, economic and environmental goals. The General
Plan is updated approximately every 10 years with the
participation of all City departments, service agencies
and the community at large. The City Council adopted a
major update to the City’s General Plan on July 25, 2001.
The General Plan can be accessed on-line at:
Downtown Plan
The General Plan adopted in 2001 required the original
Downtown Plan to be updated and included a number
of policies to achieve specific parking, circulation and
land use objectives. In January 2005, the City Council
approved an updated Downtown Plan. The updated
Downtown Plan replaced the previous Downtown plan
adopted in 1980. The Downtown Plan was created by a
Council appointed task force working with the commu-
nity and a consultant firm. The plan specifies goals and
objectives for the Downtown but also includes full de-
sign guidelines and sign criteria. In November 2009, the
City Council adopted the Downtown Specific Plan. The
Specific Plan is intended to provide a reality-based strat-
egy to achieving the vision contained in the Downtown
Plan.
The Downtown Specific Plan can be accessed at:
2015 City Council Priorities

The City Council’s Priorities, Goals, and Strategies can
be found in the Special Analysis section of the budget
book.
Annual Work Plan

ment. The Work Plan items are intended to support the
annual goals of the City Council as well as the long-term
goals and objectives for the City as described in the vari-
ous planning documents.
