The following graphic (
Figure 1-1
) provides the main mechanisms by which the County's Comprehensive Plan is implemented
on an ongoing basis. In addition, other special planning efforts or projects can be
implemented via inclusion into the Comprehensive Plan. For instance, elements or recommendations
of the South End Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan or the Rural Development Plan
are integrated into the Comprehensive Plan.
When amendments for land use changes are processed, these amendments are reviewed
for consistency with the various elements of the Plan, particularly the Future Land
Use, Infrastructure, and Conservation Elements. In this manner, the Plan provides
guidance on future development proposals. The Plan is also implemented in part by
the annual update of the Five Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. While public
dollars will always be limited, capital projects that facilitate growth and development
in accordance with the Plan ultimately implement the Plan. Finally, the County's Land
Development Code is the primary implementation mechanism that is utilized on a day
to day basis. The Land Development Code contains regulations that are authorized by
the Comprehensive Plan and ensure that the County is achieving the overall development
related guidance that is contained within the Plan.
