City of Sandusky Comprehensive Plan

Erie Regional Planning and the Sandusky Community Development staff have partnered together to begin work on a City of Sandusky Comprehensive Plan. A comprehensive plan is a long-term land use plan that attempts to balance current needs and demands with those projected in the future. The land use plan guides the community in an attempt to balance the consequences of future change. Moreover, it acts as a blueprint for a community to attempt to strike a balance between the competing claims of the present and future; between the public and private interests in land use; and between the costs and benefits of changes in land use management and development.

The City of Sandusky Planning commission will act as the Steering Committee and guide staff each step of the way during the estimated eighteen (18) month process. Public outreach will include interviewing a number of community stakeholders and distributing a survey in the Meigs Street Messenger and on the World Wide Web. In addition, public meetings will be conducted to inform and gather comments from citizens throughout the community. All of the information will then be used to develop a long-term vision for the future of Sandusky based on citizen comments and expectations.

Plan elements will include land use, housing, economic development, commercial development, recreation/park facilities, transportation, infrastructure/utilities, environmental/natural resources and community facilities and services. The completed Comprehensive Plan will establish a framework for making land use decisions relative to development in the City of Sandusky. In addition, the finished plan will also contain a number of identified issues with corresponding action steps that will provide strategies for a number of elements related to growth.

Plan completion is scheduled for sometime in 2009.
