Notas del editor
The city has a tradition of developing comprehensive plans dating back to 1913. The last plan, adopted in 1989, is almost 20 years old. Much has changed in that time. Since 1980, the City ’ s population has more than doubled from approximately 150,000 to ~370,000. During the same period, the City ’ s land area has almost tripled in size from approximately 55 to 140 square miles. Clearly, the City ’ s land area is growing faster than its population – consuming more land. The Comprehensive Plan needs to be updated to better address the issues and challenges the city faces today and tomorrow – such as incorporating green and sustainable principles, addressing transit and transportation, the coordination of land use and infrastructure, the development of new communities, the conservation of existing neighborhoods, and the renaissance of downtown.
