Following an extensive community engagement and public review process, a new Comprehensive Plan was approved by the City Council and signed by Mayor Smiley on November 22, 2024.

The implementation of the Comprehensive Plan begins with a multi-phase amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, which can be followed via the monthly meetings of the Providence City Plan Commission.

An interactive version of Map 11.3 “Base Zoning Map Changes” from the Plan (as amended) is available here.
