TextThe Comprehensive Plan
2007 Edition (as amended*)
The
Comprehensive Plan is required by state law to be used
as a guide in decision-making about the built and natural environment by
the county's Board of Supervisors and other agencies, such as the
Planning Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals. It is also a guide
for County staff and the public to use in the planning process.
* The "Amended Through [date]" in each section header of The Plan, identifies when that section was last updated. Sections of the Comprehensive Plan are updated periodically to incorporate Plan amendments adopted by the Board of Supervisors. The Web edition of the Comprehensive Plan is the most up-to-date.
