Local Planning Handbook Update Coming August 28, 2025!
We’re updating the Local Planning Handbook to align with Imagine 2050, the new Regional Development Guide. Expect a fresh look, improved navigation, and updated tools and guidance to support your 2050 comprehensive planning efforts.
We are an interconnected region. Our roads, jobs, natural resources, and residents cross community borders. We each have a responsibility to consider the interaction of land use and transportation, access to jobs and housing choices, and the effect we have on the environment and water resources. Comprehensive plans provide an opportunity to prepare for growth and strengthen connections throughout the region. These Plan Element pages identify minimum requirements, optional elements, and connect you to resources to help you complete and implement your comprehensive plan update.
