SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE <br />DATE: JANUARY 23, 2024 PAGE 2 OF 6 <br />be a helpful lens for a range of future City decisions like City Council work planning <br />and budgeting. <br />Future Land Use Framework: this <br />will likely include maps and <br />accompanying policies that <br />establishes the City's desired <br />vision for future land uses. These <br />policies will act as a foundation for <br />land use decisions on both public <br />and private land. For example, the <br />Louisville Municipal Code (LMC) <br />requires that most development <br />proposals (e.g., Planned Unit <br />Developments, rezonings) be <br />evaluated for consistency with Comprehensive Plan policies. <br />2U13 Louisville Comprehensive Plan Cover <br />Future Transportation Framework: this will include maps and accompanying policies <br />that establishes the City's desired vision for future transportation connections. The <br />Plan update will build off the City Council adopted 2019 Transportation Master Plan. <br />These policies will act as a foundation for transportation decisions both for City <br />initiated capital improvement projects and incremental transportation improvements <br />as development and redevelopment occurs on private property. <br />Policy Statements by Topic: as the plan is comprehensive, it will address a range of <br />other topics that emerge from community input. For example, the Plan update is an <br />opportunity to establish or reinforce City policies on topics "adjacent" to land use, <br />development, and infrastructure. The project team anticipates topics like Equity, <br />Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), environmental sustainability, resilience and hazard <br />mitigation, and housing affordability (among others) to be front and center in the Plan <br />update. <br />Community Engagement <br />Community input that reflects a broad range of perspectives and opinions will be vital to the <br />Plan update's success. The project team is planning on three community engagement <br />"windows" over the course of the project. During each of these windows, there will be a wide <br />range of engagement opportunities with the intent of ensuring broad representation and <br />meeting people where they are at. The table below summarizes each of these engagement <br />windows. <br />The project team is planning City Council and Planning Commission check -ins and requests <br />for input throughout the project and within each of these engagement windows. <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />
