7.0.1 Introduction

The Implementation Section identifies actions that are necessary to ensure recommendations of the Surprise General Plan 2030 are carried out effectively. These actions include the development of a yearly monitoring report that provides pertinent information related to effectiveness of the plan policies. The chapter also identifies the creation of a dynamic work plan to track recommended actions, improvements, ordinance and/or code changes, additional planning studies, and other programs and initiatives the city will pursue in achieving the long-term development pattern envisioned in Surprise General Plan 2030.

Much of plan implementation occurs on a case-by-case basis through review of proposed rezonings, site plans, conditional uses, plats, public improvements, and facilities. Implementation also occurs on a daily basis within the city administration through an ongoing system of analysis, studying the situation, and reaching rational conclusions about community needs and the best courses of city action within the framework established by Surprise General Plan 2030.

Surprise General Plan 2030 encourages consistent public and private decisions that will result in logical and sustainable development. To accomplish this, the plan relies on a continuous planning program that overlays traditional plan implementation techniques with a strategic planning perspective.
