PlanZephyrhills2035 Comprehensive Plan Update
PlanZephyrhills2035 Comprehensive Plan Update
Hello! We're glad you're here.
The City of Zephyrhills Comprehensive Plan is getting an update and your input is needed! The City aims to collect thousands of ideas from residents, business owners, workers, and other community stakeholders for use in creating a Citywide Vision and Goals and Strategies to help make the vision come to life. Using words and illustrations, the vision will paint a picture of what the community wants Zephyrhills to look like in the future and set a defined direction for PlanZephyrhills2035.
A significant piece of the plan update is engaging with people from all parts of the Zephyrhills to hear about community needs and ideas for making Zephyrhills an even better place to live, work, and play. This summer, city planners hosted seven Community Conversations in different parts of the city. Approximately 100 participants shared their thoughts about Zephyrhills' quality of life, issues and challenges, and aspirations for the future. The Community Conversations focused on three questions that can be found in the "Tell us! Survey" tabbed below. The survey is currently open. We'd love to hear from you!
About PlanZephyrhills2035
The City of Zephyrhills is updating the City's adopted 2025 Comprehensive Plan. When the planning process is completed later this year, the updated plan will have a new name and planning timeframe. Put together, we get PlanZephyrhills2035.
The State's Community Planning Act requires every city and county in Florida to prepare and adopt a comprehensive plan. A comprehensive plan includes goals, objectives, and policies that are based on data, analysis, and public input to guide growth and development as well as conservation of valued community assets and natural resources. The goals, objectives, and policies set the foundation for land develoment regulations, infrastructure investments, capital improvements budgeting, and other government programs. The comprehensive plan considers population growth and related needs for public facilities and services including water, sewer, roads, bike paths, sidewalks, parks, and more.
Community input is very important to updating the comprehensive plan and there will be several opportunities for residents, business owners, and others who are part of our southeast Pasco community to participate. With so much happening in our city, county, region, and world, this is a great moment to get involved and help shape our community's bright future.
