General Plans
A general plan is a comprehensive, long-range document that addresses the present and future needs of the County for growth and development of all land withing the unincorporated portions of the County. More specifically the General Plan provides vision, goals and policies that determine how the County will grow and develop in the present and future (usually 20 to 50 years).
County decision makers use the plan to guide land use planning decisions, direct and coordinate efficient and orderly development based on analysis of the present and future needs of the County, and to promote the vision and goals of the County.
