Dear Citizens of Yankton:
The City of Yankton Comprehensive Development Plan has two
fundamental purposes. The first is that it provides an essential
legal basis for land use regulation such as zoning and
subdivision control. Secondly, a modern comprehensive plan
presents a unified and compelling vision for the community,
derived from the aspirations of its citizens. The Plan
establishes the specific actions needed to fulfill that vision.
The ideas and goals included in the plan are developed by the
community through the planning process. The process is extremely
important because the plan serves as a guide for Commissioners
and administrators in the daily decision making process of
running the city. The plan is designed to look 20 years into the
future of the community. However, timely updates that recognize
changes in the community are a necessary part of the responsible
implementation of the document.
The Yankton Comprehensive Planning process began in 2002. A
citizen committee (see attached member list) has provided city
staff and a planning consultant with the input necessary to
develop the attached draft of the plan. The draft will continue
through the formal adoption process as defined by South Dakota
Codified Law during the next few months. A copy of the plan is
available for review on-line at
http://www.cityofyankton.org,
the Yankton Public Library and at the Community Development
Office in City Hall.
Elements of the plan will be available for review at an open
house on June 23, 2003. Pending further public input, the
Planning Commission recommendation of the document is scheduled
for August 18, 2003 and the City Commission adoption is
scheduled for September 22, 2003.
We would like to thank the citizen committee for their valuable
input during the development of the plan and we look forward to
further discussion about the plan through the public process.
Sincerely,
The Yankton Mayor and Board of City Commissioners.
