Comprehensive Plan UpdateCity of Sugar Hill
Sugar Hill, GA
The full RFP document and requirements for submitting a proposal can be found on the City's website: https://cityofsugarhill.com/government/city-announcements/bids-rfps/
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The City of Sugar Hill seeks to provide a rewrite of the existing 2019 Comprehensive Plan, which is due for updating on or before 2/28/2024 as outlined by state law. The planning horizon will coincide with the city's centennial anniversary in 2039. As a result, the theme of the plan and associated long range planning expectations will be framed by this anniversary. As opposed to a traditional major update, the city anticipates that a complete reframing of the Comprehensive Plan will provide the best possible guide to future growth. The plan will highlight the diverse nature of Sugar Hill and will strive to include as many voices as possible. The city anticipates engaging directly with the community in multiple ways, including but not limited to group discussions, one-on-one discussions, and outreach at local venues.
It is anticipated that work will begin in early 2023 and the finished product will be adopted by the City in 2024.
BACKGROUND
Located in the northwestern corner of Gwinnett County, the City of Sugar Hill encompasses approximately 10.6 square miles and has a population of nearly 26,000. A pattern of heavy suburban residential growth has persisted for several decades; however, in recent years, a vibrant downtown community has taken shape. While managing rapid downtown development over the last six years, the city has worked through several major planning projects including a housing study in 2020, comprehensive plan update in 2019, a downtown master plan in 2018, a greenway master plan in 2016 and other trail plans and corridor studies.
Strong planning, strategic public investment and competent visionary leadership have inspired confidence with the private sector and led to strong investment in a wide range of the real estate market. Since adoption of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, many significant projects have been planned, undertaken, or are already completed. This includes hundreds of dwelling units in mixed-typology residential developments built to meet the housing needs of younger and older generations alike, including assisted-living, grocery, general retail, restaurants, medical office, and other mixed-use projects.
The project team will build a comprehensive plan from the ground up which will foster a productive community-wide dialogue, methodically evaluate the successes, and misses from previous plans, and articulate an imaginative common vision for the future. As we organize with the community to accomplish the work ahead of us, the planning team will strive to provide opportunities for our diverse community voices to connect in the conversation. The project team is expected to prepare a plan which satisfies Georgia Department of Community Affairs standards for local comprehensive planning and assist the city in adopting the plan in conformance with the requirements to maintain qualified local government status by our local planning due date in February 2024.
