City of Oxford issued the following announcement on June 9.
What is a Comprehensive Plan?
A Comprehensive Plan outlines a city's vision for its future and policies & recommendations for achieving that vision. It guides land use policy, funding, resource distribution and infrastructure investment decisions for the City of Oxford, its staff, and its governing bodies. It is created through an extensive planning process prioritizing public engagement to capture the shared vision for Oxford. This Comprehensive Plan will serve as an update to the 2009 Oxford Comprehensive PLan and will incorporate existing planning documents such as the Downtown Master Plan and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan.
A Comprehensive Plan includes a Future Land Use Map depicting the intended development pattern for the next City's future. The map will be developed to help achieve the community's vision for Oxford. It will also contain policy recommendations and suggestions for plans, programs and projects that address identified priorities. These recommendations will address a variety of topics including: development character, housing, transportation, parks & recreation, public facilities, utility infrastructure, and more.
How can I get involved?
Over the next several months, the project will include many opportunities for providing input, including a community survey and public meetings. Make sure to check back for the latest updates! For now, start thinking about and discussing the following with your family and friends:
- What do I love about Oxford?
- What is my biggest concern for the future of Oxford?
