About this Update
On January 27, 2010, the Jefferson County Planning Commission adopted the Jefferson County Comprehensive Master Plan. This adoption was the first step in a process that will eventually combine all of the separate community Plans into one document. Currently, the Master Plan is a consolidation of the general policies in the existing community plans, and includes a statement that ties each of the separate community plans in as a part of the Master Plan umbrella. The Master Plan also includes information on local and regional demographics, and devotes an entirely new chapter to sustainability. The next step in the process of achieving a single guiding plan is to update the community plans and fold them into the the Master Plan. The end result will be a Master Plan that will have consistent general policies that apply throughout County, as well as policies and land use recommendations for specific sub-areas.

To achieve the goal of incorporating the community plans into the Comprehensive Master Plan, the Planning & Zoning Division has started the process of updating the community plans that cover the plains areas of the County. Plans that will be a part of this update process will primarily be the North Plains Community Plan, the Central Plains Community Plan, and the South Jefferson County Community Plan. Other plans that overlap these primary plans will also be evaluated. The C470 Corridor Plan will be incorporated into the South Jefferson County Community Plan and the Central Plains Community Plan. Additionally, remaining portions of the General Land Use Plan will be incorporated into the Central Plains Community Plan and the South Jefferson County Community Plan.

Although, each of the three primary plains community plans will be updated separately, the updates will be done simultaneously to insure consistency within the plains areas.  Each of the three community plan projects have its own web page that is updated periodically by the project manager.

We want your participation
The community plan update process is an opportunity for you to have input on how your community develops in the coming years. Each of the plan pages will provide information about how you can get involved in the update process. A timeline for each process is also included within each plan’s web page.
