Our Salem – Comprehensive Plan Update

About this Project

3J team members led the update of Salem’s Comprehensive Plan Our Salem, a multiphase project to update the Salem Area Comprehensive Plan to guide and plan for how and where the City will grow. The project included a community vision, scenario planning, comprehensive plan update, comprehensive plan map, zoning map, and zoning code updates. The plan has goals, policies, and maps that shape everything from where multifamily housing is built, to how the street system is designed, to how natural resources are protected. 3J’s GIS services used Envision Tomorrow to develop alternative growth scenarios that were used as the basis for regional transportation modeling and transportation forecasting. City Council adopted the updated plan and other associated changes on July 25, 2022. The City is now working on a variety of projects to implement and advance the goals and policies in the updated Comprehensive Plan.
