The comprehensive plan sets forth the community's vision, goals and policies to help guide development and investment decisions. The plan sets the stage for short- and long-term development regulations, ongoing decision-making, program funding and capital investments. It also provides a basis for coordination among all of Commerce City's detailed plans, implementation programs, systems, and services.

What is your vision for Commerce City's future? 

The process of updating Commerce City's comprehensive plan is underway, and we want residents to help envision the next 25 years of the city’s future. The updated plan should accurately reflect changing priorities, values, and goals for the city’s future.

The city has hosted community workshops, virtual meetings, resident surveys, and other opportunities to make your voice heard in planning a pathway to the city’s future throughout the process. The involvement of residents, businesses, landowners, and other stakeholders is crucial to ensuring that the updated comprehensive plan accurately reflects a shared vision for the city.

The city has also created a Comprehensive Plan Citizen Advisory Committee, which was seated in early 2021 support this process.
