Westminster Forward

Westminster Forward is a coordination of long-term plans/projects to create the framework for the future of Westminster. This initiative includes the following:

• Comprehensive Plan (land use and planning)
• Parks, Recreation and Libraries Plan
• Transportation and Mobility Plan
• Sustainability Plan
• Water Supply Plan

These efforts will take place along with specific projects to update the city's Development Code, Design Standards and Sign Code. 

Due to the interrelatedness of these efforts, and to ensure opportunities for resident and stakeholder involvement, the city will strive to coordinate public engagement to ensure continuity of vision and direction throughout the process.

The Westminster Forward online survey  seeks your input to help develop policies and actions to shape our future through this coordinated set of city plans. You may select to offer feedback on one or more of the following plans: Comprehensive Plan; Parks, Recreation & Libraries Plan; Sustainability Plan; Transportation & Mobility Plan; and Water Supply Plan. Your input will help establish priorities and actions for development of these plans.

Public outreach efforts are anticipated to be completed in early 2020 with finalization of plan documents in the first half of 2020. Specific timing will take into consideration the city's public engagement activities such as Water 2025, Drought Management Plan, Value of Water, Sign Code and the Harris Park Plan to minimize confusion and public fatigue and increase community awareness of how the plans inform/integrate with one another. These considerations may affect the overall plan schedules.

Westminster Forward provides opportunities to coordinate community engagement and plan content development for multiple citywide plans.  While each plan may be in a different phase than others, the project teams are continually coordinating to ensure the plans are working together to address the city's Vision, Strategic Plan, and other citywide goals.
