Comprehensive plan survey goes live; staff outline Gantt chart and high-school outreach
Summary
Planning staff reported that a new comprehensive-plan survey and Gantt chart are live on the city website, and staff plan targeted outreach including in-person engagement with high school seniors; the commission said the project remains on track for late spring.
Ottawa City Planning Commission staff reported that a survey for the city's comprehensive plan is now live on the city website and that a Gantt chart and memo outlining the schedule and outreach are complete.
At the meeting a presiding member said, “Zach has put together a survey that's now live on the website,” and described the work as including a Gantt chart and section-by-section surveys. The presiding member also said staff are working to return to in-person outreach opportunities and to present to high school seniors in the coming weeks.
Why it matters: the comprehensive plan shapes long-term land-use, transportation and community goals. Staff described a multi-part survey approach to collect input from residents and planned targeted outreach to younger residents through high-school presentations.
Staff said the project remains on track for a late-spring timeline but did not specify the exact end date; commissioners encouraged residents to complete the survey. No formal votes or policy adoptions were taken on the comprehensive plan at this meeting.
