Abstract

This document provides a handy reference regarding both necessary and desirable practices for local planning and zoning officials. It has been prepared in response to 1equests by local officials for a non technical primer on the art and science of planning and zoning. It is intended to be useful both as an orientation guide for new planning officials, as well as review material for veteran members. The report provides a capsule of information on nearly all aspects of local planning and zoning. It does not, however, substitute for professional planning or legal advice. Your local attorney and/or planner should be consulted when various technical issues arise. The handbook has been developed according to suggestions submitted by a large number of state and local officials. I would like to offer a special note of appreciation to the various local planning officials who helped us in the preparation and editing of the report. I believe that the usefulness of this document was greatly enhanced by these efforts.
