Laguna Beach: At a Glance
This booklet, published in May 2000, is organized into five sections, including: history and demographics; the economy; the physical environment; community facilities and services; and neighboring communities. The document presents background information, trends and historical context and includes information on available community indicators such as crime rates, traffic statistics, per capita income and the like.
On May 12-13, 2000, the City of Laguna Beach hosted a Vision Fair weekend for community members. The weekend included a range of activities and opportunities for community input and dialogue addressing diverse community issues. This report summarizes the results of the weekend's events and highlights points made during a panel discussion on Friday evening, presents data obtained from interactive vision booths and facilitated workshops, and includes detailed findings from the various activities.
In the months following the Vision Fair, the City hosted a series of community workshops to solicit and document public input into the planning process. Numerous community groups, neighborhood groups and stakeholders responded to an open invitation for a facilitated workshop to be held upon request. The Summary Report records the the results from each of the community vision workshops and includes comments relayed during each workshop discussion and the ideas and concerns expressed in written comment cards.
This report summarizes the results of the Visioning Process and presents a concise compilation of the common thinking that has grown out of this extensive community outreach. It identifies the issues around which there appear to be substantial consensus, and synthesizes into a "Vision Framework" - a framework that, on one hand, expresses the "common vision" as articulated by the community, and on the other hand, provides a conceptual tool that we can use to organize our thoughts as we begin the next phase of the project - the Strategic Planning Phase.
