BACKGROUND

The Comprehensive Plan (CP) is used to determine the most desirable location of each type of development. The CP is advisory in nature, and provides guidance to residents, staff, and elected and appointed officials on future growth and development in the unincorporated areas of Jefferson County. The Area Plans section of the CP contains additional advisory policies and land use recommendations that are also to be used when reviewing a proposed rezoning, special use, or location and extent. The policies in these plans were created to be specific to the Area to which they apply and reflect input from community members, property owners and area agencies.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK!

A huge thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts on the partial draft of the Comprehensive Plan! Your input is invaluable in shaping the future of our community.

Now that the comment period has closed (as of February 27), our team is carefully reviewing each submission to determine how they’ll be incorporated into the full draft. We expect to have the complete draft ready by mid-April, kicking off another four-week public review period.

During that time, the County will also be hosting public meetings—another great opportunity to share your ideas and help shape the final versions of this plan. Stay tuned for more details, and thank you for being part of this important process!
