Body
Background:
The Always Delray Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2020, was created with a high degree of public outreach. The Plan includes policies related to the preparation, implementation, and update of plans that guide the vision of the City. Most of the City's plans have not been updated for at least 10 and in some instances, more than 20 years. These policies are listed below, with the latest dates. In recent years, other issues, such as the architecture used in the downtown area, the need for increasing neighborhood tree planting requirements, the location and impact of motor vehicle dealers in the North Federal area, the need for more diverse, affordable housing options in the City, etc. have arisen. Updating these types of documents to define the vision for the future requires a process with a high degree of public participation. Staff is seeking guidance on which areas to prioritize and if the City Commission desires a public visioning effort.
