The City of Farmington and the Farmington Downtown Development Authority (DDA) are requesting qualifications from land use planning consultants to update the City’s Master Plan, the City’s Parks and Recreation Plan, and the Downtown Master Plan. 

The intent of the City of Farmington is to have a comprehensive and integrated update of its City Master Plan, Downtown Master Plan, and Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The City Master Plan and the Parks and Recreation Master Plan were adopted in 2019.  The Downtown Master Plan was adopted in 2017.  Incorporated into the Parks and Recreation Master Plan will be a Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan.  The Farmington City Council has historically designated the Planning Commission with the responsibility of adopting the Master Plan and its elements pursuant to the Michigan Planning Enabling Act of 2008. 

Much has changed since the plans were adopted related to community demographics, technology, general housing trends, national and regional employment patterns, retail trends, place making/social interaction, and the City’s and DDA’s implementation of goals and objectives contained in their prior plans.
