Comprehensive Plans Land use planning is one of the best tools to guide growth toward achieving economic benefits and protecting environmental quality. A comprehensive plan is an all-inclusive look at current and future conditions within a jurisdictional boundary. Topics typically analyzed in a comprehensive plan are the adequacy of roads, schools, and other infrastructure, identification and protection of environmental resources, and future land use. A comprehensive plan is adopted by some form of local government and is then adopted into local law. The plan is then to be used as guidelines for the future development of the community (Conglose, 1999). Five of the six counties the Darby Creek Watershed have comprehensive plans but only a handful of townships, villages, and cities have enacted a comprehensive plan. Figure 62 below displays the current status of comprehensive planning efforts in the Darby Watershed.
