Comprehensive
Planning Allows counties, cities, towns and townships to create a vision for their joint future. Comprehensive plans outline local government policies, objective and decision guidelines, and serve as blueprints for development. They typically identify areas targeted for a variety of different land uses, including agriculture, forestry, residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational. Planners often identify and map important farm and ranch land and set policies to protect the land and promote commercial agriculture. Plans can promote compact urban growth by establishing urban growth boundaries (UGB) and setting a schedule for the development of new infrastructure. The agricultural element of the General Plan for Stanisiaus County, Calif., has three goals: to strengthen the agricultural sector of the county's economy, to preserve agricultural lands for agricultural use and to protect the natural resources that sustain the farming economy. A comprehensive plan can form the foundation of a local farmland protection strategy.
