Past Community Engagement
Open House #3
January 20, 2026
The Consultant Team hosted the third and final public open house at the Gateway Convention Center to gather community feedback on the Final Draft Future Land Use Plan and Draft Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) Implementation Strategies for the comprehensive plan.
What are OKRs?
We’re glad you asked!
The comprehensive plan’s recommendations are framed as OKRs:
Objectives: Objectives are the “what” to be achieved by the community. Objectives address the Comprehensive Plan’s broad themes like housing, growth and development, and transportation.
Key Results: Key Results are the “how” to achieve the Objectives. Key Results include strategies and actions that the City and identified implementation partners should complete to achieve the related Objective and further the broad theme or goal.
