Welcome to the website for the Department of Planning and Land Use’s Advance Planning Division.
We deal with long-range planning, the “vision” side of the planning equation. We are responsible for creating and maintaining the County’s General Plan, the document that sets the philosophy and policies that determine what gets built where, and how communities will accommodate growth while preserving character and protecting what those communities value. We also oversee the PODs, Policy and Ordinance Development teams, that regularly review our growth regulations and laws to ensure they are relevant and make sense.
We recently completed the General Plan Update, the first overhaul of the County’s General Plan in 30 years. More information can be found on the General Plan Update Web page
DPLU News
We've created a monthly e-mail newsletter to help keep stakeholders aware of activities from the Department of Planning and Land Use, including the Advance Planning Division. Quarterly the DPLU news will be expanded to include updates from other DPLU Divisions such as Building, Project Planning, and MSCP. We have posted past newsletters below, and are always looking to expand our distribution. If you would like to be added to our list, please Contact Us.
