What Is A Comprehensive Plan?
Purpose, Process, and Impacts
A Comprehensive Plan is a document created by loca
governments and residents to determine what the focus and vision
of the community should be over a 20 year period.
The Plan looks at the relationships between land
uses, infrastructure, such as roads and utilities,
and community needs, and can impact how and
where a community grows over time. It seeks to
include broad, equitable, and diverse public
engagement from residents across all areas of
the county.
A Comprehensive Plan is a requirement by the state for a local
government to have Zoning regulations.
It also provides a broad tool to help communities identify how
they want to prioritize resources and future planning efforts, The
Plan can be used as a guide for the County in budgeting and
policy decisions, drafting regulations, and creating 5-year
Strategic Plans.
Some examples of questions that The Plan will seek to answer include:
• What areas are best suited for future
growth, and what should that growth
look like?
• What areas should be preserved,
conserved, or protected, and how?
• What kind of environmental, health,
safety, and other challenges might the
County face, and what are some ways to
address those?
How can equity, multi -generational
needs, accessibility, and other issues be
addressed?
• Where should recreation facilities be
located and what type should they be?
