The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range planning document that outlines plans for the future of the City of Lakewood. It covers everything from zoning to critical areas and development regulations. It also includes plans for specific neighborhoods within Lakewood, outlining how they could be developed in the future.
Under state law, every city must develop a Comprehensive Plan. Cities are also required to update this plan every 10 years. The city began its periodic review update in 2023. It is required to have the update complete and adopted by the Lakewood City Council by the end of this year.
