    • Strategic plan

    The issues and trends identified through the assessment process can be presented in bullet fashion under appropriate topic headings, e.g. Tree Resources, Management, and Community. Goals and objectives identified in the "What do you want" analysis are listed below issues and trends by the appropriate topic areas. For each objective, actions are listed which address how the objectives will be realized.

    A typical organization of the strategic plan is shown in outline form below. The strategic plan can be organized in any other way that is appropriate for the plan. In addition, the strategic plan may be placed at a different point in the final plan than is shown in the outline page. In some plans, it is placed after the introduction.

    • Example

    Below is an outline that shows how a strategic plan might be organized.

    2.1. Tree canopy cover Issues and trends

    • Mean summer temperatures will tend to rise due to the urban heat island effect (localized heating of urban areas associated with pavement and other heat absorbing surfaces) and overall global warming trends. Increased tree canopy cover can help moderate these impacts.
    • Regional air quality will continue to be an issue of concern. The Sacramento air basin in the vicinity of Sacramento has frequently exceeded national ambient air quality standards for ozone and, to a lesser degree, airborne particulates matter. Tree canopy intercepts and reduces both ozone and particulate pollutants.
    • Tree canopy cover in Rocklin has increased by 63% over the past 50 years, from about 11% in 1952 to 18% in 2003, as a result of both new tree planting and growth of existing native trees over the past 50 years (Section 3.1). ...

     

    Goal 1. Establish and maintain target levels of tree canopy throughout the City.

     

    Objective 1.1. Establish target levels of tree canopy cover citywide and for specific land use categories.

     

    Actions

    • Adopt an appropriate goal and timetable for increasing overall canopy cover within the City of Rocklin.
    • Establish canopy cover goals for open space lands, residential areas, commercial parking lots, public facilities (including parks and schools), city-maintained parkways, and other major land use categories that will contribute to attainment of the overall canopy cover goal. ...
