to
  
land
  
use
  
objectives,
  
community
  
attitudes,
  
and
  
conclusions
  
drawn
  
from

the
  
planning
 
personnel
 
formulate
 
their
 
plan. Planning
 
departments
 
are
 
responsible
 
for
 
long-term
 
implementation
 
of
 
the
 
master
 
plan,
 
creating
 
rules
 
that
 
support
 
policies
 
and
 
administering
 
land
 
use
 
regulation
 
on
 
an
 
everyday
 
basis. The
 
planning
 
commission
 
is

for
 
approving
 
site/subdivision
 
plans
 
and
 
building
 
permits
 
and
 
ruling
 
on
 
zoning
 
issues. Public
 
Land
 
Use
 
Control
 
At
 
the
 
state
 
level,
 
the
 
legislature
 
enacts
 
laws
 
that
 
control
 
and
 
restrict
 
land
 
use. At
 
the
 
local
 
level,
 
county
 
and
 
city
 
governments
 
control
 
land
 
use
 
through
 
the
 
authority
 
known
 
as
 
police
 
power
 
-
 
zoning. Governments
 
have
 
the
 
right
 
to
 
own
 
real
 
property
 
for
 
public
 
use
 
and
 
welfare. A
 
municipality
 
may
 
annex
 
property
 
adjacent
 
to
 
its
 
existing
 
property. It
 
may
 
force
 
property
 
owners
 
to
 
sell
 
their
 
property
 
through
 
eminent
 
domain.
