Why Plan? • It is important for community residents and leaders to understand that planning is important and has an impact on Quality of Life . • Planning is an organized way to anticipate and shape changes for the benefit of the community. • To form a good basis for plan im plem entation - zoning, design guidelines, and capital improvements programming. • A well planned community is attractive, has reasonable taxes/ fees, adequate public services, and is a good place to live and work.

What is Planning? • Planning attempts to form a consensus on important issues that affect the development of a community. • Successful City Planning: Public action that generates a desirable, widespread and sustained private market reaction. -Alexander Garvin

What is a Com prehensive Plan? • “The comprehensive plan, also known as a general plan, master plan or land use plan, is a document designed to guide the future actions of a community. It presents a vision for the future; with long-range goals and objectives for all activities that affect the local government.” • Not a Zoning Ordinance or Subdivision Regulations
