Homer Comprehensive Plan Update

The City of Homer has a new draft of the 2045 Comprehensive Plan! The Public Hearing Draft was released on July 23^rd, 2025 and is ready for public comment. This draft incorporates 16 months of input and revision from our community. It describes how we'd like to see Homer grow over the next two decades.

The Homer Comprehensive Plan has served as a beacon and guide for city residents, leaders, organizations, and partners over the years. Homer's first one was adopted in 1954, and it has been updated periodically ever since, most recently in 2018. The revised Plan will help shape an upcoming Title 21 City Code rewrite, with the intent to make Homer's zoning and planning codes easier to understand and use.   

What happens next in the plan adoption process?  

 August 20th at 6:30pm: Planning Commission Meeting

The Planning Commission will consider a motion to recommend adoption of the Public Hearing Draft and any potential amendments. An agenda and more information will be available on the meeting webpage the Friday prior to the meeting.

If the plan is recommended for adoption, the Homer City Council will review a Comprehensive Plan Ordinance through an introduction and  public hearing. The Council may adopt the plan or continue deliberations. All materials will be available the Friday before each meeting.
