I I RECEIVED I I 1 1 RESOLUTION NO. 9 5 -0 3 BOROUGH COUNCIL I BOROUGH OF LAURELDALE I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1 I PART I: INTRODUCTION Description and Organization of the Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan is one of the basic planning documents authorized by Act 247 of 1968, the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, enabling local governments to plan for and regulate development. The State has recognized that good regulations are based upon a solid understanding of local conditions, a well-defined set of municipal goals, and a clearly articulated municipal policy encompassing a comprehensive range of issues and conditions. Unlike the Zoning Ordinance or a Building Code, the Comprehensive Plan is not an ordinance or code with the force of law, but it contains the basic data and goal statements which are needed to enact sound regulations. The first part of this document is an inventory of local conditions. The inventory examines natural features and conditions, existing patterns of development, the local transportation system, the makeup of the local economy and how residents are employed, the role of the Borough in relation to the region, man-made and natural features which influence local conditions and activities, and the demographic characteristics of the residents, including age composition and how the population has changed over
