GDP Planned Land Use Amended May 2026

A preliminary land use map was developed with the Citizens Advisory Committee and then reviewed by the public in a series of public forums and online review. These comments were taken into consideration by the County staff and the Citizens Advisory Committee to form a recommended draft land use map. The recommended draft land use map was tested for impacts to provide a threshold for how much development the County can accommodate in the areas where it is to be directed and to provide a basis for infrastructure needs. The recommended land use map was presented to the Planning Advisory Board where residents had an opportunity to comment through a public hearing. The Planning Advisory Board’s recommendations for changes to the Land Use Plan were taken into consideration and a final Land Use Plan was forwarded to the County Council for adoption on May 3rd, 2021. The Region Plan process has a similar format and has been completed for Region 2 (Bill No. 6-24) and Region 7 (Bill No. 8-24). These areas have been updated based on the Region Plan adoptions and the outstanding regions will be appended upon approval. This planned land use map is effective as of May 2026.初步土地利用规划图先与公民咨询委员会（Citizens Advisory Committee）协同编制完成，随后通过多场公共论坛与线上评审环节接受公众审议。县工作人员与公民咨询委员会充分吸纳上述公众意见，最终形成推荐版土地利用规划草案。针对该推荐草案开展影响性评估，以明确本县在规划开发区域内可承载的开发规模阈值，并为基础设施配套需求提供测算依据。随后将该推荐土地利用规划草案提交至规划咨询委员会（Planning Advisory Board），居民可通过公开听证会发表意见。规划咨询委员会提出的土地利用规划修改建议均被纳入考量，最终版土地利用规划于2021年5月3日提交县议会审议通过。区域规划流程采用类似编制逻辑，目前已完成第2区域（法案编号6-24）与第7区域（法案编号8-24）的编制工作。上述区域已依据获批的区域规划完成更新，剩余未完成区域将在获批后补充纳入。本规划土地利用图自2026年5月起正式生效。
