Content: While
 
all
 
communities
 
desire
 
a
 
certain
 
degree
 
of
 
growth,
 
too
 
much
 
growth
 
can
 
overwhelm
 
services
 
and
 
infrastructure. To
 
formulate
 
a
 
growth
 
strategy,
 
a
 
plan
 
initially
 
forecasts
 
growth
 
trends,
 
then
 
estimates
 
how
 
well
 
the
 
municipality
 
can
 
keep
 
pace
 
with
 
the
 
growth
 
forecast. The
 
outcome
 
is
 
a
 
policy
 
position
 
that
 
limits
 
building
 
permits
 
and
 
development
 
projects
 
to
 
desired
 
growth
 
parameters. A
 
growth
 
plan
 
considers: 
 
 
nature,
 
location
 
and
 
extent
 
of
 
permitted
 
uses
 

 
 
availability
 
of
 
sanitation
 
facilities
 

 
 
adequacy
 
of
 
drainage,
 
waste
 
collection,
 
and

water
 
systems
 

 
 
adequacy
 
of
 
utilities
 
companies
 


and


 
 
housing
 
availability
 

 
 
conservation
 
of
 
natural
 
resources
 

 
 
adequacy
 
of
 
recreational
 
facilities
 

 
 
ability
 
and
 
willingness
 
of
 
the
 
community
 
to
 
absorb
 
new
 
taxes,

Growth
 
patterns. In
 
addition
 
to
 
the
 
quantity
 
of
 
growth,
 
a
 
master
 
plan
 
also
 
defines
 
what
 
type
 
of
 
growth
 
will
 
occur,
 
and
 
where. Major
 
considerations
 
are: 
 
 
the
 
type
 
of
 
enterprises
 
and
 
developments
 
to
 
allow
 

 
 
residential
 
density
 
and
 
commercial
 
intensity
 

 
 
effects
 
of
 
industrial
 
and
 
commercial
 
land
 
uses
 
on
 
residential
 
and
 
public
 
sectors,
 
i.e.,
 
where
 
to
 
allow
 
such
 
uses
 

 
 
effect
 
of
 
new
 
developments
 
on
 
traffic
 
patterns
 
and
 
thoroughfares
 

 
 
effects
 
on
 
the
 
environment
 
and
 
environmental
 
quality
 
(air,
 
water,
 
soil,
 
noise,
 
visual
 
aspects)
 


Accommodating
 
demand. As
 
the
 
master
 
plan
 
sets
 
forth
 
guidelines
 
for
 
how
 
much
 
growth
 
will
 
be
 
allowed,
 
it
 
must
 
also
 
make
 
plans
 
for
 
accommodating
 
expanding
 
or
 
contracting
 
demand
 
for
 
services
 
and
 
infrastructure. The
 
plan
 
must
