The city of Sanibel announced that an online community survey, which was created for the recently initiated update of the Sanibel Plan, is available and open for public completion.<\/p>\n
Hardcopies of it were distributed at the first community workshop on Feb. 19. The results of the survey will be used to guide the updating of existing and creation of new goals and implementing policies contained in the Sanibel Plan.<\/p>\n
\u201cPublic input is vital in the update of the Sanibel Plan because it is a reflection of the community\u2019s vision for the future,\u201d Planning Department Director Paula McMichael said.<\/p>\n
The Sanibel Plan is essentially a \u201croad map\u201d that guides decisions on land use, private investment, green space programs and development of public projects. It describes the community\u2019s history, current state and future vision. The city noted that the Sanibel Plan will not answer all questions about the future, but it serves as the city\u2019s foundation.<\/p>\n
The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and it is open to island residents, as well as business owners and visitors. It covers a variety of topics, including factors respondents use in determining where they will live, threats to Sanibel\u2019s quality of life, and concerns and opportunities for the future.<\/p>\n
