Peoria officials want to make major updates to the text and maps of the city’s general plan.

Proposed changes are available online and a 60-day window to give feedback is now open.

A city’s general plan lays out its aspirational vision. The plan guides future decisions on land use, public services, infrastructure and resource management.

Peoria officials have detailed their proposed changes in a nearly 150-page document.

Officials say most of the remaining open space in Peoria is state trust land, and a key amendment would redesignate roughly 8,300 acres.

Officials have scheduled an open-house meeting for 6 p.m. on April 23 at Rio Vista Recreation Center, and a virtual meeting at 6 p.m. on April 25.
