Long Range Planning
A comprehensive plan is a city's policy guide for future development. It gives the city a legal basis for adopting zoning, subdivision rules and other development regulations and for applying them consistently. It also helps the city budget local development dollars, coordinate growth and base decisions on careful research and sound criteria. More about long range planning in Fredville
