Comprehensive Plan

The Comprehensive Plan is a document that guides the future actions of a community. It presents a vision for the future and the policies and strategies the community will undertake to get to that future. All land-use decisions, including zoning, subdivision review, and development controls, must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
