growing community requires strategic comprehensive plan<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

located approximately 16 miles northwest of downtown des moines, polk city is primarily a residential community. its convenient location is ideal for those seeking the tranquility of small-town life, with a short commute to the larger metro area. likewise, polk city\u2019s close proximity to regional recreational amenities like big creek state park, saylorville lake, and the central iowa trail system<\/a> make it the perfect community for those with a love for the outdoors.<\/p>\n

polk city has been experiencing rapid growth over the past 20 years. from 1990 to 2010, polk city\u2019s population increased by 79 percent. a single family active subdivision (sfas) study completed in 2014 indicated that approximately 535 additional lots would be platted for construction<\/a> by 2018. increased growth had residents and officials concerned about maintaining the small-town character while addressing growing housing, environmental<\/a>, and transportation<\/a> needs.<\/p>\n

with the increase in housing demand and rapid growth issues, a comprehensive plan study completed in 2002 was soon out of date. snyder & associates was enlisted in 2014 to investigate the current trends and create a new comprehensive plan to guide the community going forward.<\/p>\n

comprehensive plan provides a road map for the future<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

a comprehensive plan<\/a> is a long\u2010range policy guide for making decisions about the physical development of a community. a plan doesn\u2019t, however, provide a detailed solution for the development of specific sites. instead, it sets out broad policy directions for growth, development, and redevelopment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

a successful comprehensive plan represents the community\u2019s vision for the future<\/a> and is therefore heavily dependent upon 世界杯足球比赛预选赛 participation. residents, business leaders, and city staff work together to identify the issues and challenges that are facing the community, along with the assets and opportunities that can be better utilized.<\/p>\n

these assembled groups then collaborate on developing a vision of the community, followed by a plan of action to achieve that vision. the plan created for polk city analyzed and incorporated a wide variety of components, including the natural environment<\/a>, population, current and future land use<\/a>, transportation, parks and trails<\/a>, infrastructure<\/a>, 世界杯足球比赛预选赛 facilities and services, and growth management.<\/p>\n

since a comprehensive plan is a guidance document, its recommendations must be implemented in order to be effective. this happens through the policies, programs, and ordinances established by community leaders. the comprehensive plan created for polk city incorporated an implementation strategy that will help city officials and staff to effectively execute the goals outlined in the plan.<\/p>\n
