The Planning Department created Comprehensive Plans for the city as a whole and for 12 individual neighborhoods areas known as Analysis Areas. The Comprehensive Plans, developed with input from area residents, provide long-range goals for each neighborhood regarding land use, zoning, transportation, crime and safety, parks and recreation and historic preservation. The Comprehensive Plans are formally adopted by City Council and provide the basis for review and evaluation of proposed development, rezoning and Capital Budget expenditure.
