Why Plan? It is an important process to teach community residents and leaders to that good planning is important and has an impact on Quality of Life. Planning is an organized way to anticipate and shape changes for the benefit of the community. To form a good basis for plan implementation - zoning, design guidelines, and capital improvement programming. A well planned community is attractive, has reasonable taxes/fees, adequate public services, and is a good place to live and work.

What is City Planning? Planning attempts to form a consensus on important issues that affect the development of a community. The goal of land-use planning is to further the welfare of people and their communities by creating convenient, equitable, healthful, efficient, and attractive environments for present and future generations. American Planning Association Successful City Planning: Public action that generates a desirable, widespread and sustained private market reaction. Alexander Garvin

What is a Comprehensive Plan? The comprehensive plan, also known as a general plan, master plan or land use plan, is a document designed to guide the future actions of a community. It presents a vision for the future; with long-range goals and objectives for all activities that affect the local government. Gary Taylor, JD, AICP "Comprehensive municipal plan" means a compilation of policy statements, goals, standards, and maps for guiding the physical, social and economic development, both private and public, of the municipality and its environs, and may include, but is not limited to, the following: statements of policies, goals, standards, a land use plan, including proposed densities for development, a community facilities plan, a transportation plan, and recommendations for plan execution. A comprehensive plan represents the planning agency's recommendations for the future development of the community. Minnesota State Code 462.351 Not a Zoning Ordinance or Subdivision Regulations
