What is Land Use Planning?

Land use planning is a process where experts assess the land and its resources with the goal of making the land most beneficial to the users while also conserving the environment. While this process does take time, it can be very beneficial to property owners and the environment. As land is used up over time, it is very important to conserve the limited resources available to us. Land use planning helps all involved to make the best use of the land and help anticipate future needs and possible changes.

There are many steps and factors that are present when developing a land use plan, from discussions with owners to legal, economic, and social factors. The basic steps in land use planning are as follows:

• Determine Goals and Get Organized
• List Problems adn Changes that are Possible
• Evaluate the Land
• Analyze the Legal, Economic, Social, and Environmental Factors
• Select the Best Option
• Prepare and Implement the Plan
• Monitor the Plan and Revise as Needed
