Sergeant Bluff Comprehensive Plan 2043

Sergeant Bluff Comp Plan

What is a Comp Plan?

The City of Sergeant Bluff is currently working with SIMPCO to update its comprehensive plan. A comprehensive (or “comp”) plan is a document that outlines a community’s goals and aspirations for its future (typically looking 10-20 years out). It assesses a community’s current conditions and offers insight and recommendations across the topics spanning:

  • Economic Development
  • Housing
  • Transportation
  • Land Use
  • Community Facilities & Services

Sergeant Bluff’s last comp plan was adopted in March 2012. It is available HERE. [PDF, 28.69 MB]

 

Why do we need to update the Comp Plan?

It is important to update a City’s comprehensive plan to ensure that the community has a plan with current goals as well as factors in the latest changes in the City, technology, etc. By updating the plan, Sergeant Bluff will accomplish the following:

  • Outline the most up-to-date, public-supported vision and community goals
  • Create guide for the community’s future (next 10-20 years)
  • Support facilitation of projects and improvements across a range of topics (e.g. economic development, housing, transportation, etc.) throughout community to increase quality of life
  • Increase access to sources of funding needed to complete projects
  • Meet requirement for zoning and division/subdivision regulations to be made in accordance with a comp plan per Iowa Code
