City Council Conceptually Approves Comprehensive Plan
The Raleigh City Council voted unanimously today to approve in concept an updated Comprehensive Plan for the Capital City. The vote took place in a review session for the Comprehensive Plan and culminates an update process that had a public kickoff in October 2007, nearly two years ago.
Council members will take a final vote on the new Comprehensive Plan at its regular meeting on Oct. 7. The plan would take effect on Nov. 1, if it is adopted.
The Comprehensive Plan update provides the framework to guide Raleigh’s growth through 2030. The document has a firm grounding in both data and analysis, represented by a 400-page community inventory report and an audit of more than 5,000 previously adopted policy, goal and action statements. The update process included more than 50 public meetings, 1,500 participants and 1,200 online comments from citizens.
