The City of Homer has completed a final draft version of the 2018 Comprehensive Plan. The 2018 Plan is a ten-year update of the 2008 plan. It is designed to guide city development and policy for the next ten years.

The 2018 Comprehensive Plan together with City of Homer’s Master Roads and Streets Plan (1986),Non Motorized Transportation and Trail Plan (2004), Area Transportation Plan (2005), Town Center Development Plan (2006), and Spit Plan (2010) comprise the Homer Comprehensive Plan. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan update was adopted as a 20-year long-range plan and included extensive public involvement as well as professional consulting services. The 2018 Comprehensive Plan serves as a 10-year revision of the Plan and includes contributions from City Commissions, City staff and input from the public. The next 20-year update, due in 2028, will likely include a more extensive process, similar to that of the 2008 plan. Continued development influences Homer’s character and presents many demographic, social, and economic challenges. Comprehensive planning aims to promote the type of natural and built environment that the community desires. The Comprehensive Plan identifies a broad, long-term vision for Homer’s future, and establishes goals, standards, and policies for land use and development.
