Long-Range Planning Work Program

Since 2012, the Planning and Zoning Division has prepared a Long-Range Planning Work Program to prioritize and consolidate amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning & Development Ordinance (ZDO). Public involvement with the work program allows for the integration of projects important to the community, as well as increased community awareness about current long-range planning projects.

2023-25 Work Program

The 2023-25 Long-Range Planning Work Program focuses on several land use items that were postponed from the 2021-23 program and some transportation planning projects that are in process. The program was approved by the Board of Commissioners on Aug. 9, 2023.

Community members and organizations were invited to submit ideas for projects to consider. After gathering input from the Planning Commission, staff met with the Planning Commission to discuss and make a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners. The plan recommended by the Planning Commission was approved by the Board of Commissioners on April 27, 2021 and revised in October 2022.

2019-2021 Long-Range Planning Work Program

The 2019-21 Long-Range Planning Work Program was structured around the need to update the Comprehensive Plan in four major areas: Housing, Transportation, Economics, and Natural Resources and Energy. Plan projects were chosen after seeking suggestions from the public, county departments and other jurisdictions, reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
