2.1.7  Think About Who is Going to Use the Plan, and How

How does the community hope and expect the plan to be used? Are local officials generally committed to referring to the plan when making decisions related to zoning and subdivision regulations, transportation and highway investments, public and community facilities improvements, park and open space acquisition and improvements?

Who, if anyone, will be responsible for thoroughly knowing the plan, and for seeing to it that policies and actions called for in the plan are carried out? This issue is especially important to consider in communities without a full-time professional planning staff.
