Can you imagine what Campbell will look like in 10 years? How about 20 years?

The Orchard City is asking community members for their thoughts on what Campbell should look like in the next two decades, all as part of the General Plan update process. The city will host a series of workshops in neighborhoods from January to March about guidelines for future development. The workshops will focus on land use, housing, transportation and more.

The update process was started in May 2016, according to the city. The city adopted its last update to the General Plan in 2001.

Community members at the workshops will be given an overview of what a plan is, how it affects the city and the status of the current process.

“There will also be interactive activities that provide participants with opportunities to identify key priorities, issues, and challenges that should be addressed in the General Plan as Campbell charts its course for the next 20 years,” city-hired consultant Ben Ritchie said in an email.

According to Ritchie, the first draft of the new update is expected to debut in late summer or early fall.

Comments gathered from community members during the workshops are slated to go to the General Plan Advisory Committee and to the City Council for review, according to Ritchie.

The advisory committee—made up of community members—serves the council to provide input on policies, programs and issues throughout the process. It has met 11 times since July 2016 and will continue to meet after the neighborhood workshops, according to Ritchie. Its meetings are open to the public, however, only the committee can participate in the discussion.

“A number of steps have been completed in support of the General Plan update,” Ritchie added.

Thus far, the city has added the updates to its newsletter, completed an Issues and Opportunities Report and released an online community survey.

The first workshop will be on Jan. 22 in the Oak Room of Campbell Christian School, located at 1075 W. Campbell Ave. A second workshop will be on Jan. 29 in the Koffee House Room of the Home Church of Campbell, 1711 Winchester Blvd.

The neighborhood workshop on Feb. 5 will be held at the Campbell Community Center, at 1 W. Campbell Ave. in the Orchard City Banquet Hall. The Feb. 12 meeting will be in the cafeteria of Canyon Heights Academy, located at 775 Waldo Road.

The final workshop will be on March 5 at San Jose Christian School’s cafeteria, 1300 Sheffield Ave.

Each workshop begins at 6:30 p.m.
