Community and General Plans

Community and general plans combine community vision with sound planning principles to guide and accommodate growth.  The Planwest approach begins with a clear set of planning process procedures.  We provide public involvement and stakeholder engagement, thorough research, technical assistance, and policy development services.  Planwest delivers clear, concise planning documents that address the community’s vision and goals, and guide future decision-making.  Our services help communities:

  • Establish a long-term vision
  • Identify goals
  • Define physical development and resource management objectives
  • Coordinate with other communities and agencies (such as cities, counties, state, regional, and federal agencies)
  • Craft policies to meet goals and obtain long-term vision
  • Set priorities for implementing programs
  • Establish criteria for evaluating development proposals and public projects
