- The community engagement phase will serve as the foundation for the project and will be completed through a series of meetings, workshops, surveys, and growth-scenario comparisons facilitated by the consulting firm.
- Community Engagement and Baseline Community Profile:
• Public Engagement and Outreach: The consultant should propose specific types of engagement that will result in broad-ranging participation throughout the process. We expect this may include a combination of workshops, meetings, focus groups, social media, community events, surveys and online tools. Non-traditional approaches are encouraged. The plan should include unique branding which can be marketed throughout the planning process and beyond.

Downtown Master Plan
• Vision and Goals: Establish a broad community vision as well as identify those topics areas prioritized by the community based on public input. Each topic area should be supported by a goal, objectives and/or policy statements that serve to organize the recommendations detailed in the plan.
• Land Use Plan: Create a detailed and specific future land use plan to serve as basis for future rezoning actions and Zoning Code updates. The plan should consider the existing conditions data that impact land use. Please see the "Considerations" section for more information.

Create accountability by putting forth a detailed strategy including roles, responsibilities, and milestones.
