The Strategic Growth Area (SGA) Office was created in FY 2009-10 and became a department in FY 2011. It has become a project coordination and implementation resource. With a focus upon planning and infrastructure, the department manages Strategic Growth Areas (SGAs) projects and initiatives.
 
Reporting to Deputy City Manager Steve Herbert, Barry Frankenfield is the SGA Manager.
 
The SGA department is poised to implement the following Council goals:
 
  • Create financially sustainable City services
  • Invigorate the economy
  • Become a competitive, first class resort for residents, businesses, and tourists
  • Improve the transportation system
Within certain targeted strategic growth areas (SGAs)  light rail transportation  will blend into the transportation plans, parking strategies will be developed and form-based coding will be introduced.
 




 
 
The SGAs were initiated in the 2003 Comprehensive Plan and updated in 2009. Future residential, commercial and light industrial growth will occur within the areas. While creating denser populations, the SGAs are designed to integrate attractively compact mixed land-uses and offer greater use of alternative transportation systems.
 
​The SGA department supports City Council’s economic vitality goals by implementing the Comprehensive Plan.
​
The Comprehensive Plan outlines the following goals:

  • fostering energy efficient sustainable developments
  • encouraging workforce housing
  • bolstering public understanding
  • creating multiple development area improvements
Moreover SGAs activities enhance adjacent areas and neighborhoods.

 

​

​With the inclusion of tourism areas, planning and collaboration documents have been produced from partners such as the Convention and Visitor's Bureau, Public Works and Public Utilities.

As envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan, the SGA supports the Economic Development and Planning Departments. Where applicable, planning will include private developers.
