The City of Northglenn’s 40th anniversary will be celebrated in 2009. This milestone provides an opportunity to look back on Northglenn’s history, to consider current conditions and to look forward into the future.
In practical terms, it’s time to revisit and complete an updated Comprehensive Plan for the city.
All interested residents are encouraged to participate in the creation of the plan through a series of workshops. The Northglenn Planning Commission held a kick-off workshop in city council chambers on Tuesday, Sept. 9, with an open house at 6 p.m., followed by the workshop meeting at 7 p.m.
The next meeting will also be in council chambers at 6 p.m., Oct. 28. Talk will center around the area of Northglenn that is west of Interstate 25 and south of 112th Avenue. | | What is a comprehensive plan?
The Comprehensive Plan is the blueprint for future growth, land use, and development of Northglenn and is the basic foundation for local planning. It lays out a community’s vision and priorities, and describes where, how, and in some cases, when, development will occur. The plan guides long-range decision making involving physical development and any city action that is expected to influence development. The purpose of the plan is to provide the guidance necessary for city leaders to make informed and rational decisions to balance their development goals with the need to provide a quality living environment for existing and future residents. | | Why do we need a Comprehensive Plan?
A Comprehensive Plan aids in policy building to ensure orderly growth and to protect the public’s best interest.
There are many functions of a Comprehensive Plan, including the creation of a collective vision that reflects the intentions and will of the community to decide its future. In addition, the plan assists the city in proactively preparing for the
future by guiding development in a fiscally responsible manner, and to coordinate public infrastructure investments to ensure adequate provision of public facilities and services.
The plan will lay out recommendations regarding a variety of topics that include land use, housing, economic development, parks, recreation, open space and transportation and corridor plans.
The plan will contain goals, objectives, policies and guidelines for growth and redevelopment. | | How long does it take to complete?
The plan is created with community input and professional planning analysis by staff. The planning process will commence in 2008 and continue
throughout 2009. | | Display Boards presented in Open House Format
In order to thoughtfully consider the values and vision of the City, and create strategies for the future, knowledge is important. Staff have prepared educational and informational display boards that capture data regarding various aspects of the current status of the city and projections in terms of issues and growth. The display will be available for study on the D. L. Parsons Theatre mezzanine in the Northglenn Recreation Center from Sept. 10-21, at City Hall from Sept. 22 - Oct. 10 and at our Maintenance and Operations facility at 12301 Claude Court from Oct. 13-17. We hope you gain knowledge about the city and are inspired to think about the future. We invite your participation by attending one or more of the future workshops. The schedule will be available as part of the display. | | Questions?
