What is a Comprehensive Plan?
Community planning, according to the American Planning Association, is “a process that seeks to engage all members of the community to create a more prosperous, convenient, equitable, healthy, and attractive place for present and future generations.” One of the fundamental responsibilities of local government is to plan for future growth and development of the community. The guidance document that results from this planning process is the comprehensive plan. It also covers elements like Land Use, Transportation, and Economic Development that are important focuses to help the County achieve its vision.
