Community & Strategic Planning

The mission of the Community & Strategic Planning Division is to help create an increasingly better, more helpful, effective, and attractive community that its citizens are proud to call home. We will strive to protect our natural resources and provide quality planning that is vital for Loveland’s future growth. We will work in partnership with other city departments, citizens, and neighboring jurisdictions.

The Community & Strategic Planning Division manages a proactive community-wide planning program, which defines long-term strategies for maintaining and enhancing the quality of life in Loveland. The Community Vision is accomplished through the development of key planning documents and various City programs in collaboration with citizens, elected officials, and other City departments. Staff participated in regional planning projects involving multi-jurisdictions in Northern Colorado to identify opportunities to jointly address land use and growth issues on a regional scale. The division’s goal is to provide the community with services that balance existing resources with the public interest, encouraging quality planning for Loveland’s future.
