City of Richland Planning Commission to Host Comprehensive Plan Open House on November 12

​The City of Richland invites community members to participate in a special Planning Commission meeting on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, dedicated entirely to the Comprehensive Plan update. In place of the Commission’s standard format, this meeting will be held in an open-house style to encourage broader engagement and discussion.
 
The Comprehensive Plan is the community’s long-range roadmap for growth, transportation, housing, land use, economic development, public facilities, and more. This early phase of the project is focused on gathering public input to help shape key discussion topics.
 
“Updating the Comprehensive Plan is a community-driven process,” said Mike Stevens, Planning Manager. “We want to hear from residents, business owners, students, workers, and anyone with a stake in Richland’s future.”
 
Event Format
The meeting begins promptly at 6:00 p.m. with a short presentation led by the City’s consultant, AHBL, followed by a 20–30-minute large-group Q&A. This portion will be broadcast live on Richland’s CityViewTV and recorded.
Afterward, attendees may visit topic stations facilitated by project staff to explore specific issues, ask questions, and provide feedback in a more interactive setting.
