The purpose of the City's Comprehensive Plan is to control and promote development which is most desirable to the majority of the residents and property owners of the City. The Plan establishes a set of policies and guidelines which will allow for development to occur while preserving those qualities which brought them to the community, or has made the community what it is today.
