The master planning process was carefully structured to ensure meaningful participation, with consistent oversight from a knowledgeable steering committee. A charrette provided an invaluable opportunity for community leaders, stakeholders, and residents to collaboratively dive into the housing issue, explore potential solutions, and evaluate various development scenarios. This strategic, inclusive process directly addressed the housing challenges facing the City, delivering a plan that is relevant and impactful, with long-term effectiveness. One community member commented: "What really stands out to me is the plan’s clarity and accessibility. It’s thoughtfully organized, visually compelling, and easy to understand."
