The 2050 Comprehensive Plan is structured into chapters known as ‘Elements,’ each addressing different topics such as Land Use, Transportation, Housing, Infrastructure, Coastal Management, Conservation, Recreation Open Space, Intergovernmental Coordination, Capital Improvements, Economic Development, and Property Rights.
The update of the County’s Comprehensive Plan is mandated under Florida Statutes 163.3184 and 163.3191. Once adopted, the 2050 Comprehensive Plan will replace the current 2025 Comprehensive Plan.
“We kicked off this project nearly two years ago, and community dialogue, debate, and discussions have helped create a planning document we can all be proud of,” said Roberson.
Details of the 2050 Comprehensive Plan are available here.
