Arvada City Council Council Meeting
The meeting commenced with roll call and an excused absence for Council Member Ambrose. The agenda workshop order was adjusted to discuss the comprehensive plan before the building and fire code adoption workshop. The presentation formally kicked off the comprehensive plan project, which is an 18 to 22-month community-driven effort aimed at guiding growth and integrating various departmental elements. Key discussion points included the process phases (understanding existing conditions, engaging the community, establishing a shared vision, and defining policy directions), the significant population growth since the last 2014 update, and the intention to engage the community robustly, creatively, inclusively, and representatively. Specific emphasis was placed on forming advisory groups (Community Advisory Group, Technical Advisory Group) and initiating youth engagement, including an event in March. Next steps involve solidifying the consultant contract and bringing the public engagement plan to the Council and Planning Commission. Council members expressed enthusiasm for the comprehensive plan process, particularly the youth engagement component, and raised interest in re-evaluating overall public engagement strategies for planning processes, citing examples like San Diego.
