Small Area Planning
A Small Area Plan is specific to a well-defined geographic area and includes considerable detail. Due to the narrow focus, it encourages greater participation by property owners, residents, and business owners. Once adopted, the plan represents the official policy direction of the Board of Commissioners and will guide future growth and development for a specific area of the county.
Small Area Plans are similar in format to Land Use Plans. However, Small Area Plans include greater detail that recognizes and preserves the uniqueness of an area. The Land Use Plan is broader in scope and lacks specificity.
