About Community Plans
Community Plans
Section titled “Community Plans”Community Plans provide goals and policies for individual communities, typically for areas within boundaries that reflect established community planning areas. Community Plan policies, in conjunction with the Community Plan Land Use Plan, are intended to be a comprehensive guide for the physical development of a community on a more detailed basis than the General Plan. The Land Use Plan delineates the location, density and intensity of housing, commercial, industrial, public facilities and open space. The plan may provide implementation strategies for such topics as land use, transportation, urban design, parks, school facilities and public services.
The nature of a community plan depends upon the need of the community. A community plan for a developed, mature area would focus on neighborhood enhancement and commercial revitalization goals and action items; whereas a community plan for a newly developing area would focus more on new development needs, e.g. location of new public facilities and infrastructure financing.

Footnotes
Section titled “Footnotes”-
These communities do not have a text community plan, only a land use designation map, which is now solely maintained on the County’s General Map tool under “Planning” in the left hand column. The Southeast Area Community first adopted a land use designation map in 1976 and the Antelope Community first adopted a land use designation map in 1985. ↩ ↩2
