Section 10-A2518. IM-3.3 ACTION PLANNING

 

2518.1This section rolls up all the actions included in the text of the Comprehensive Plan into an overall action plan (Table 25.1). The Action Plan includes:

 

a.The District agencies or other bodies that have the responsibilities for carrying out each Comprehensive Plan action (note: a list of agencies and abbreviations is included at the end of this Element);

 

b.The recommended implementation timeframe (see further explanation below); and

 

c.Those actions that will require capital funds for implementation. 2518.1

 

2518.2Priority actions are highlighted with the symbol P Actions for the Zoning Commission to consider are highlighted with the symbol Z 2518.2

 

2518.3The recommended implementation timeframe classifies actions as follows:

 

a.On-going actions are continuous activities that should be occurring now and on a regular basis into the future.

 

b.Immediate actions are actions that are about to commence or that should be initiated during 2006 or 2007.

 

c.“Short-term” actions are actions that should be initiated by 2008 or 2009. Some short-term actions may take several years to complete.

 

d.“Mid-term” actions should be initiated by 2010 or 2011. Some midterm actions may begin sooner than 2010, depending on funding and available staff resources; and

 

e.“Long-term” actions include actions which may take many years to implement, and actions which may not begin until after 2010 due to funding and staff constraints or other factors. 2518.3

 

2518.4It is recognized that when this Comprehensive Plan is adopted, there may not be complete agreement between the time frames set here and the city’s approved Capital Improvement Program. Over time, a stronger link should be established so that the two documents are synchronized and eventually are in full agreement. Similarly, it should also be recognized that the actions listed below should not be interpreted as budgetary mandates. The intent is to convey a roster of priorities that should guide the Mayor and Council as they develop, approve, and execute annual operating and capital budgets. 2518.4

 

2518.5As noted on Page 25-1, Table 25.1 is a roll-up of all the actions contained in the Elements of this Comprehensive Plan. Some of the action text in the table has been shortened here - the full text of each action can be found in the Elements of the Comprehensive Plan. 2518.5
