Policy IM 4.3 Area Plan Review

Area Plan Review The following criteria will be used to evaluate an area plan’s changing relevancy: • Action items identified in the area plan have been largely implemented, significant development has occurred, or other capital projects have been implemented in the area. • City Council has approved numerous rezoning requests or made other decisions contrary to plan guidance. • The trends that informed the plan recommendations have substantially changed or reversed. • A foundational aspect of the plan has changed.

Re-examine area plans every 10 years after adoption, and amend or remove those that are fully implemented, superseded by new area plan studies, or are located in areas experiencing major changes such that the existing guidance does not fulfill its intent. Major changes may include new infrastructure or service and significant population shifts
