The Land Use Planning Process

The land use planning process involves evaluating how land should be used and managed to meet social, economic, and environmental needs. It typically starts with assessing current land uses and gathering input from the community. Planners then create a vision and establish goals for future development, considering factors like housing, transportation, parks, and conservation. The process includes drafting plans, reviewing them for compliance with regulations, and obtaining public feedback. Finally, plans are adopted and implemented, guiding decision-making for land development and ensuring sustainable growth that benefits the community.
