The Comprehensive Plan update provides the framework to guide Raleigh ’s growth through 2030. The document has a firm grounding in both data and analysis, represented by a 400-page community inventory report and an audit of more than 5,000 previously adopted policy, goal and action statements. The update process included more than 50 public meetings, 1,500 participants and 1,200 online comments from citizens.
Background
The Planning Commission conducted fourteen meetings between March and July 2009 in reviewing the Comprehensive Plan. On July 14, 2009, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan with amendments. The Commission recommended edits to the text of the Plan and adjustments to the Future Land Use Map as a result of deliberation and public comment. The Certified Recommendation represents the final recommendation from Planning Commission.
The updated Comprehensive Plan is the culmination of 18 months of work on the part of City Staff and consultants, and is intended to provide the framework to guide the city’s growth out to 2030. The Plan has a firm grounding in both in data and analysis, represented by a 400-page community inventory report and an audit of over 5,000 previously adopted policy, goal and action statements.
The updated Plan has an expanded scope but is also substantially simpler than the current plan. It includes new elements that address Land Use, Environmental Protection, Urban Design, Arts and Culture, Regional Coordination and Implementation.
