Comprehensive Plan

The City is working with the Sanford/Springvale community to update our Comprehensive Plan. This plan provides long-range planning and policy direction for the next 10 years for Sanford. It guides City decisions about land use planning and major investments such as parks, utilities, roads, sidewalks, and other amenities. The content of the Plan is informed by residents through several community engagement opportunities, including ongoing online engagement on this website.

The Plan is carefully guided by the steering committee, which includes Sanford residents, employees, and board representatives who meet regularly to discuss the Plan. Resident input is critical to the Comprehensive Plan process. Share a transformational idea below. Sign up for updates via the button in the right-hand column. We will post information about public meetings, the community survey, and other opportunities for you to share your vision for Sanford/Springvale.

June Questions of the Month

June's questions of the month focus on different types of development and where they may be most appropriate in Sanford. The comprehensive plan is a policy document that establishes the community's vision for growth over the next decade. The final document will provide guidance on where different types of development should go, and what future development in Sanford should look like.
The images in the following questions are intended to illustrate the general form, size, and use of development types. As you respond, please focus on the overall type and scale of development shown rather than specific design or architectural features.
