FAQs

Area Structure Plans give detailed policy direction to areas of the County where development is more intense in use and more technically complex. Policies in ASPs can address land uses, development phasing, population density, transportation routes, and the location of public utilities among others.

The County’s existing Area Structure Plans vary in scope, level of detail, and technical background. This lack of consistency creates barriers and uncertainty for the public, applicants, and County staff which can create delays during the development process.

Rescind the existing Area Structure Plan as it no longer meets the needs of County and its residents. This approach will make Area Structure Plans simpler, more consistent, and easier to maintain.
