Setup
Planner Lonnerstater presented and summarized the results of the online surveys made
available to the public as part of the ongoing 5-year Master Plan update. Full survey results
were detailed in the packet.
An online public survey launched in 2025 to obtain input on land use, transportation, and
development matters for the 5-year Master Plan update. An additional survey (Visual
Preference Survey) was launched in October. Prior to the launch of the online surveys,
Community and Economic Development Department staff set up a booth at the Downtown
Touchdown Event on October 4th, 2025 and invited participants to take part in an in-person
Visual Preference Survey.
As part of the Master Plan update, Planner Lonnerstater would like to set up a Master Plan
Committee consisting of 4 members of the Planning Commission, City Council, and
possibly some members from the DDA.
