Purpose and Overview
The City is developing subarea plans for Downtown La Center and Timmen Landing. Plans for the subareas will include conceptual land uses, proposed transportation improvements, and other policies to guide development and support future growth. Each subarea plan will answer the question: what will this area be like in the future and what is the path to get there?
- The City of La Center is looking for a new vision to promote economic and community growth to complement existing businesses.
- We are actively seeking community input to guide the planning process and ensure that the subarea plans will be tailored to meet local needs.
What is a subarea plan?
- A subarea plan is an optional element of the overall Comprehensive Plan for a specific area.
- Subarea plans focus on goals and policies for land use, transportation, and the environment for the specific geographic area. The subarea plans will be used to guide community character, redevelopment, and new investments in Timmen Landing and Downtown La Center.
How can I get Involved?
- Community outreach and engagement are essential to any planning process. We need input from the community to establish a collective vision and develop a plan that meets community needs for the future. There will be opportunities to be involved in every stage of the planning process. You can participate by:
- Attending the City of La Center Table at an upcoming event
- Attending Planning Commission and Council meetings where the Subarea plans are being discussed.
- Viewing “Upcoming Events” above for information about future community workshops and other events in the community to provide input on the Subarea Plans
- We will also be organizing a series of focus groups to engage in in-depth conversations about economic development, private property needs, and public services.
