Best Practices
Questions to Think About
•Any overall reactions or thoughts about Plan structure?
•Merge elements with similar topics?
•Can the Neighborhoods Element be limited to sub-area (place-
based) policies?
•Transition the “Governance Element” into an Equity Element?
•Are there elements missing? (Community Services?)
•How should the plan address cross-cutting topics?
