The public buildings element is an inventory and assessment of the city’s present and future facility needs, its level of service goals and its administrative space requirements. The transit element provides a comprehensive analysis of transit systems and associated amenities within the city.

Elements of the city’s master plan must be included and updated regularly per state law.
