Although it <br />is a physical plan, it reflects the community's social and economic values. These values are <br />translated into the type of land use the city desires and programs regarding economic <br />development, housing, parks, transportation and other key areas. <br /> <br />The Comprehensive Plan helps communities determine how to plan for investment in sewer, <br />water, roads, parks, and other infrastructure. When evaluating how land will be used in the <br />future, communities also consider housing needs, employment patterns, recreational space and <br />commercial activities. Planning where different uses will go helps communities maximize <br />efficient delivery of services to businesses and residents, which helps manage costs. Identifying <br />land uses provides a guide to the city to tell them if a development is located on a parcel that is <br />consistent with the infrastructure and city services provided to that area.
