Community Engagement Plan

Create an open and transparent engagement process that builds trust between the city, residents, businesses owners, and other stakeholders.
 

Engage a wide diversity of residents, with a focus on those who typically do not participate in civic projects and government meetings.
 

Create accessible informational materials (postcards, flyers, presentations, etc.), that are multilingual and culturally appropriate and disseminate these materials at City Council meetings, public events, workshops, and popular places in the community throughout the two years of the project.
 

Develop the next generation of community leaders by bringing all residents into the process and allowing them to help set the overall direction of the General Plan.
 

Conduct engagement focused on residents living in identified Disadvantaged Communities, as defined by Senate Bill 1000.
 

Allow the community to provide substantive input on key components of the General Plan including the vision and guiding principles, the pattern and intensity of allowed land uses, and key issues such as transportation, economic development, open space, health, and other policy issues.
