"EXHIBIT A"
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOAL STATEMENT
1. People are the most esteemed and valued resource available, there-
fore, the City is a vehicle through which its citizens achieve their
aspirations. To this end, a wide variety of living, working, shopping
and playing areas should be provided so that every citizen can live
a full and productive life in a clean, decent environment. The City
should encourage and provide the opportunity for citizens to develop
themselves intellectually, physically, culturally, and spiritually.
2. The beauty of the natural environment is one of Edmonds' most distinc-
tive assets and should be preserved or improved to the greatest extent
possible as the community developes.
3. Resources available for community development and operation should be
utilized economically and wisely.
4. The citizens of this community must have the opportunity to participate
in the decision making processes by making their wishes, opinions and
goals known and considered in the evolution of consensus that is neces-
sary to govern. Local government should be the advocate for citizens
in relation to other entities, public or private.
5. The man made environment should be compatable and complimentary to the
natural environment and those elements that contribute to the heritage
of the community.
