Purpose
The purpose and intent of the master plans is to establish direction and provide specific recommendations for the future physical development of the county and the respective basins. Each plan articulates the community’s common vision for the future and informs citizens, property owners, and developers of the goals, policies, actions, and implementation strategies that will shape the future. Master plans also provide a means for communication and coordination between the County, the towns, special districts, and federal, regional, and state agencies.
Major Development Proposals
As indicated in the
Land Use and Development Code, development proposals such as subdivisions, rezonings, planned unit developments, conditional use permits, and regulatory revisions must be evaluated against the relevant master plan(s) to ensure the proposals are generally consistent with the overall direction, intent, and guidance provided in each applicable plan.
