Community Planning

We maintain the County’s Comprehensive Plan and update the Community Development Code and Community Plans. We coordinate with local and state planning efforts and incorporate public and community-based organization involvement.

The Community Planning team maintains the County’s Comprehensive Plan, including updating the Community Development Code, Comprehensive Framework Plan for the Urban Area, Rural/Natural Resource Plan, Community Plans and Urban Planning Area Agreements. Community Planners conduct planning studies on housing, natural resources, and rural development issues. They coordinate with local and state partners on planning efforts and involve the public and community-based organizations in their projects.

Appointments are required for in-person services for Community Planning. See Office Locations and Business Hours.
