Since 2012, the Planning and Zoning Division has prepared a Long-Range Planning Work Program to prioritize and consolidate amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning & Development Ordinance (ZDO). Public involvement with the work program allows for the integration of projects important to the community, as well as increased community awareness about current long-range planning projects.
2023-25 Work Program
The 2023-25 Long-Range Planning Work Program focuses on several land use items that were postponed from the 2021-23 program and some transportation planning projects that are in process. The program was approved by the Board of Commissioners on Aug. 9, 2023.
