Comprehensive Plan

The Plan 

An update of the current Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in 2013, will start in 2018. The plan will outline the vision to establish a consistent framework for land development and redevelopment. The plan will serve to align land uses with economic vitality, community health, community resilience, energy/climate, water resources, services and other relevant issues.

The Comprehensive Plan Update will build upon and bring together previous and future planning efforts in order to create consistency in development for the city over the next 20 years.

The Process

A community-focused process will engage the public through 2019, and will solicit ideas and comments from Westminster residents and businesses lead by a consultant. Technical working groups will develop plan content and periodic community engagement efforts will be held to get feedback on the draft plan. Once the draft has been refined, the City Council will review the plan and then formally adopt the plan. The process began in summer 2018 and will be completed in early 2020, with implementation beginning upon adoption.
