It is not a regulation by itself, but is intended to provide the rationale for development regulations. The Comprehensive Plan includes background information about existing conditions and trends, mapping and a set of recommended policies. The Comprehensive Plan primarily addresses: - Land Use and Housing - Transportation - Community Facilities and Services - Natural Feature Conservation - Ways to Carry Out the Plan Major Benefits of the Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan offers many benefits, including the following: • Addressing land uses in coordination with transportation issues, to avoid future traffic problems; • Avoiding conflicts between different types of development, such as not allowing intense business uses adjacent to a residential neighborhood; • Considering development policies in a comprehensive and coordinated manner for an entire area, as opposed to piecemeal review of individual parcels or lots; • Recommending ways that natural features should be preserved and conserved; and • Suggesting improvements that should be the basis of future grant applications.
