The Playbook allows the city to be proactive in achieving the community’s vision for Kansas City by providing a clear road map and to-do list for the next 20 years. It is a guide for city decisions on funding and city services, public improvements, changes to city codes and ordinances and more.
The plan also helps city partners, neighborhoods, businesses and property owners move in step with the city toward a common vision.
SEARCHING PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS
The Implementation Dashboard provides a convenient user interface where all of the plans recommendations can be viewed in one place. It also allows users to sort, filter and search the plans’ recommendations, to see relationships of plan elements, and to see information about how to implement recommended actions (responsible entities, timeframes, cost categories and measures of success).
EVALUATION TOOLS AND GUIDELINES
The Playbook provides evaluation tools and guidelines as well, that can be used to evaluate whether proposed projects, initiatives, policies or developments are aligned with the city’s Vision and Goals. For example, city staff, boards and commissions can use the plan’s guidelines to help evaluate the suitability of requests for new development or public improvements. The Goal Supporting Criteria provide a quick way to determine whether a proposed project, policy, funding request is generally consistent with the Playbook. These guidelines and criteria can also be used to help support a request by demonstrating consistency with the comprehensive plan.
