Content: The

and

land
 
use
 
laws
 
with
 
local
 
land
 
use
 
objectives
 
that
 
correspond
 
to
 
the
 
municipality's
 
social
 
and
 
economic
 
conditions. The
 
completed
 
plan
 
becomes
 
the
 
overall
 
guideline
 
for
 
creating
 
and
 
enforcing
 
zones,
 
building
 
codes,
 
and
 
development
 
requirements. Planning
 
objectives
  
The
 
primary
 
objectives
 
of
 
a
 
master
 
plan
 
are
 
generally
 
to
 
control
 
and
 
accommodate
 
social
 
and
 
economic
 
growth. Amount
 
of
 
growth. A
 
master
 
plan
 
sets
 
specific
 
guidelines
 
on
 
how
 
much
 
growth
 
the
 
jurisdiction
 
will
 
allow. 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
 
potable
 
water
 
systems
 

 
 
adequacy
 
of
 
utilities
 
companies
 

 
 
adequacy
 
and
 
patterns
 
of
 
thoroughfares
 

 
 
housing
 
availability
 

 
 
conservation
 
of
 
natural
 
resources
 

 
 
adequacy
 
of
 
recreational
 
facilities
 

 
 
ability
 
and
 
willingness
 
of
 
the
 
community
 
to
 
absorb
 
new
 
taxes,

issues,
