Land Use Planning

Land use planning establishes directions for a city or county’s growth. It reflects existing uses of land, such as residential, commercial, and industrial, and provides a roadmap to where the municipality wants to be as additional development occurs. Though related to zoning, land use plans are guidelines, strong but not conclusive directives to developers of what is acceptable within the planning jurisdiction of the city or county. Land use plans addresses the transition from one type of use to another and define the level of service expansions anticipated in growing areas.

Landplan provides land use planning services both as part of comprehensive plans for municipalities and as stand-alone assignments. Sustainability of communities requires a balance that may include areas in which to live, learn, work, and play. Landplan supports land use designations with strategies for extension of municipal services. The firm’s integration of planning and engineering provide a functional check on the viability of land use plans. Landplan is also adept at building community authored plans through use of public workshops and refinements through public meetings for presentation and to receive feedback. We understand that land use plans ultimately represents the definition a community gives to itself.
