The Town of Sunnyvale is working to update the Town’s comprehensive plan and needs to hear from the community.

The Imagine Sunnyvale Comprehensive Plan will serve as the Town’s official guide for land use and development for the next 20 years. When completed, the Imagine Sunnyvale Comprehensive Plan will be the product of the community, with a vision and recommendations guided by valuable input from residents, business owners, community leaders, and other stakeholders.

Residents, business owners and operators, property owners, developers and community stakeholders are encouraged to complete the Online Community Survey. The survey contains questions about important issues and opportunities facing the Town that the Comprehensive Plan planning process seeks to address. The survey will be available until Tuesday, Oct. 7. Your feedback is essential to creating a successful plan for our community!  

Upcoming Events

The Town will host two more outreach events to gather more in-person feedback. These interactive events will allow you to learn more about the Comprehensive Plan process and provide your input. Everyone is encouraged to stop by on the following dates and locations:

Tuesday, Oct. 7, 6 - 7 p.m.

At the National Night Out – Town Center Park, 356 Tripp Road

Residents can track the project's progress through the project website over the course of the next year to stay informed.
