The County’s Comprehensive Master Plan (CMP) is the County’s long-range planning document. The CMP is intended to reflect the community’s vision and values for various land use-related issues over the 20-year horizon. In addition to several plan maps, the CMP includes a variety of goals and policies for urban and rural development, parks and open space, natural resources, transportation, water, and other community services. The CMP is linked to the approval criteria within the County’s Zoning and Subdivision Resolutions, and along with other criteria, is considered by the Board of County Commissioners in making decisions on land use applications.
