Community Character. The Community Character element will describe the key characteristics of the built and natural environment that make Camas feel like Camas. The purpose of this element is to establish the sense of place that should be retained and created through new development over the planning horizon. The Community Character element will provide context for the comprehensive plan and sets the scene for other elements. This element influences every aspect of the City, from defining the physical built environment to the livability of natural places within the City’s sphere of influence.
