1.1 Introduction
A comprehensive plan is a policy document designed to serve as the city’s blueprint for future decisions regarding land use, growth, public services, and infrastructure. Kansas state law (K.S.A. 12746 and 12-747) provides guidance on the elements of a Comprehensive Plan and city approval and adoption processes. The Comprehensive Plan covers a wide range of social, economic, infrastructure, and natural resource factors, including topics such as land use, housing, transportation, utilities, public services, recreation, and agriculture, among others. The Eudora Comprehensive Plan is a longrange planning document that provides guidance on reaching goals envisioned 20 or more years in the future (this Comprehensive Plan Update will look at a planning horizon through the year 2040). To reach this envisioned future, the Comprehensive Plan includes policies and actions that address both immediate and long-term needs.
