Agenda Item Summary:
Attached for your review and approval is the proposed 2025 Rapid City Comprehensive Plan. Reflective of the thousands of voices that have helped shape the document throughout the engagement process, the 2025 Rapid City Comprehensive Plan will serve as the primary policy tool to guide how and where we grow as a community throughout the next ten years. Since the adoption of the 2014 Rapid City Comprehensive Plan, our community has seen an increase in population of nearly 20 percent. With this growth has come new economic opportunities, diversified community amenities, and enriched cultural vibrancy, however, challenges related to infrastructure capacity and condition, housing affordability, transportation efficiency and accessibility have also arisen. City Staff have worked closely with the Consultant, Logan Simpson, to develop a Plan that responds to these challenges. This Plan addresses what is working well in our community and identifies opportunities for improvement as we continue to grow into a community that provides opportunity for people of all ages and abilities for generations to come. The Comprehensive Plan provides the overarching policy vision for the community and is designed to work in alignment with and inform other topic-specific plans including the City’s Infrastructure Master Plans and the Metropolitan Transportation Plan. Additionally, the Plan identifies numerous opportunities to leverage community partnerships across the public, private, and non-profit sectors to collaboratively develop policies that achieve specific actions within the Plan and ensure implementation is reflective of the community’s vision and informed by local expertise. Adoption of the 2025 Comprehensive Plan is where we begin this work and we look forward to building the future of Rapid City together.
