Park City has long enjoyed the reputation of being a desirable place to live, in addition to being the home of two world class ski areas. In order to define our vision for the future, while protecting the community's character and preserving our desirable quality of life, in 1993 the City Council directed an update of the 1985 Comprehensive Plan.
IIn November of 1993, almost 300 residents participated in 34 "living room" meetings known as Community Vision. The findings of that effort can be summarized as concerns over:
- Population Expansion
- Loss of Community Identity
- Loss of Open Space
- Affordable Housing Needs
- Nuisances and Quality of Life Issues
- Adequate Public Facilities and Services
- Aesthetics, Design, Mass and Scale of Development.
The findings of Community Vision were a starting point for the General Plan Revision process. A Citizens Advisory Committee was appointed by the City Council and acted as a sounding board for issue and policy identification. The Planning Commission and City Council held work sessions to review the findings of the Citizens Advisory Committee. Once policy documents were drafted, public information sessions and public hearings were held by the Planning Commission and City Council.
The General Plan is the policy document which will guide the future of Park City. Over time, ordinances have been drafted to implement the policies. The elements of the General Plan are:
I. Introduction - adopted 3-20-07
