The City is soliciting proposals from qualified, multidisciplinary planning firms/consultants to update the community wide comprehensive development plan. The area to be considered in this comprehensive development plan update will include the City's urban growth boundary and corporate boundary as shown in the attached map. The comprehensive development plan will serve as the guiding document for growth and development regarding land use, zoning, utility capacity and construction, economic development, traffic management, recreation, capital budgeting, provision of municipal services and facilities, housing, and community engagement.

Lakeland's community-wide comprehensive development plan was revised in 2006 and has become outdated in dealing with current issues related to a growing community. It is the City's desire that there be significant and meaningful community participation in preparation of the plan and that the consulting team includes substantial opportunities for citizen participation in the planning process.

Proposals will be accepted until 2:00pm CST on Thursday November 18, 2021.
