Introduction
Seward City Council includes an Agenda Statement with each City Council regular
meeting agenda item to ensure that the public has knowledge of the background and the intent of
the legislative actions before Council at regular meetings. Included within the statement is a
"Consistency Checklist" to ensure that all proposed ordinances and resolutions comply with the
governing documents of the City.
While the Agenda Statement for Resolution 2019-083 confirmed the Resolution was
consistent with the Seward Comprehensive Plan and its Strategic Plan, it did not identify specific
"document sources" on which the confirmation was based. Accordingly, this Agenda Statement
Supplement identifies specific "document sources."
Seward Comprehensive Plan and Strategic Plan Sources
2030 Seward Comprehensive Plan Section 3.3.1 requires the City to "encourage
development of new housing in Seward." (See 2030 Seward Comprehensive Plan, Vol. 1, p. I-
15). Similarly, the Seward Strategic Plan states that an objective and goal of the City is to
"[e]ncourage construction of residential and seasonal housing at all market levels." (See
Strategic Plan, page 9). Page 18 of the Strategic Plan recognizes that another major element of
the City vision is to "expand availability of affordable, diverse, year-round housing."
This supplement statement was reviewed by the City Attorney.
