Zoning & Sustainable Land Use
Zoning and land use policies are a community's greatest assets in regulating and implementing growth, development and quality of life elements. Land Use designations can be an effective way, when partnered with an effective zoning ordinance, to regulate the use of a community with an eye towards sustainability and overall land use compatibility. It is important for zoning and land use policies to be consistent with each other, enabling each component to be an enforcer of the other.
