This draft comprehensive plan updates the existing 2018-2038 plan, establishing a new framework for 2026 through 2046. The plan focuses on strategic directions for land use, including encouraging urban growth within designated areas, preserving open and rural lands, supporting natural resource-based industries, and developing a balanced, safe, and efficient multimodal transportation network. Key objectives include maintaining rural character, limiting urban services in rural areas, fostering quality neighborhoods, preventing land use conflicts near airports, and ensuring responsible stewardship of agricultural and mineral lands.
