Summary Report:
This report updates board and commission members on the status of the 2045-horizon Comprehensive Plan.
Progress Update:

Staff would like feedback on the "questions" and "metrics" included in the framework, as well as any additional comments on the vision and guiding values themselves.
All the topic-based analyses have been drafted and are attached for review (save the Climate Change analysis, which will be coming soon). The Planning Commission had a discussion of these and the decision-making framework at the April 18 regular meeting of that body.
