Clayton Tomorrow 2040

Thank you to everyone who participated in the comprehensive planning process over the last year. In June the Plan Commission and the Board of Aldermen voted to adopt Clayton Tomorrow 2040 as the City's master plan for physical development. The final adopted plan can be viewed under the "Documents" tab on this webpage. Staff has now begun the process of determining an implementation schedule and tasks to focus on in the next year. This website will remain live for the next few months while a project dashboard is created to track our implantation over the years to come.

In advance of the Plan Commission meeting on May 20th, an updated draft of the Clayton Tomorrow 2040 plan has been uploaded to the website for review. The revised draft incorporates feedback from the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, residents, community members, and City staff. The draft can be downloaded from the "Documents" tab. Comments and questions related to the draft can be submitted through the website or by contacting the Department of Planning and Development Services.

Thank you to those who completed the future land use survey. Your participation has enabled us to create a revised draft future land use map for community input. The existing future land use map the City operates under was drafted in 1975. A large component of the Clayton Tomorrow 2040 process is to develop an updated future land use map. The 1975 map may be viewed under the "Documents" tab of this webpage. Comments on the proposed future land use map may be submitted through this website.

Proposed Future Land Use Map

On April 23, 2024, at 6pm, there will be a presentation to the Board of Aldermen on the partial draft of the proposed plan. This presentation will also cover the community feedback gathered during the current land use survey. In advance of the meeting, a partial draft has been published under the "Documents" tab of this webpage. The partial draft does not include the section that will cover Future Land Use and Character Areas as this chapter will be completed after the current engagement effort. The community can provide comments on the published draft through this website or by contacting the Planning & Development Services Department.

We are in the final stages of the comprehensive planning process and are looking for feedback on the proposed future land use map and character areas. If you missed the Open House on March 28th, we have created a short survey to replicate the engagement activity. This survey focuses on the land uses designations and vision statements for various areas of the City. The survey will be open for a short time, so make sure to take a look before it closes on April 18th!

We have begun the process of drafting the final comprehensive plan document! The plan uses the Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) structure to outline goals and visions for housing and neighborhoods, commercial development and economy, transportation and connectivity, and community character. We need your help to refine and finalize these objectives and key results. Please take the survey to view some of the draft statements and provide feedback!
