Community Plans and Specific Plans provide direction for entire communities
or other defined new geographic areas. These plans will take different forms depending on the specific needs
of our communities. They typically set forth policy and implementation strategies for such items as land
use, transportation, urban design, parks, school facilities, and public services. A Community Plan for a developed,
mature area would focus on neighborhood enhancement and commercial revitalization goals and action items; whereas a Specific Plan or Community Plan for an area that is newly developing would focus more on new development
needs, location of new public facilities and infrastructure financing. These plans help implement the County General
Plan on area-specific basis. In addition, the County has initiated and implemented special planning programs
for projects that are unique and controversial in nature.
