Implementing our Community Plans
Over the past several years, the Planning Department, in collaboration with community stakeholders, has developed and adopted several Area Plans to guide neighborhood growth and change, and imagine community improvements and programs 20 years into the future. As the Area Plan neighborhoods gain new residents and workers, there is an accompanying need for improved public infrastructure and amenities, such as parks, street improvements, transit and child care centers.
Interagency Plan Implementation Committee (IPIC)
The Interagency Plan Implementation Committee (IPIC), as outlined in Administrative Code Chapter 36, is comprised of representatives of the City implementing agencies that are responsible for the provision of the community improvements as outlined in the Area Plans.
The IPIC report provide snapshots of the success of certain Area Plans, assessing development patterns, impact fee projections, and capital projects.

Along with major park renovations, such as:

It has contributed to smaller ongoing community-based projects through:
