Wheaton Plan Visioning Questionnaire

The Wheaton Plan, an ongoing master plan, will establish a long-term vision for how Wheaton should grow and evolve over time. Master plans are legal documents that guide future decisions around topics including housing, transportation, economic vibrancy, environmental resiliency, and recreational opportunities through land use, zoning, and policy tools. Both the vision and the recommendations are informed by input and feedback from community members, guidance from county policies and data analysis. Master plans are implemented gradually over time through public investment, private development, and local policy changes.

This questionnaire builds on conversations Planners have had with community members at pop-ups, community events, and an Open House, as well as concerns and ideas raised by community, neighborhood and advocacy groups. We would love to hear about your ideas, priorities and feedback on the areas of exploration. Thank you for taking the time to share with us.

Visit the Wheaton Plan website to learn more the Plan and read about what it will explore in the Scope of Work.
