The Best Way to keep your community a great place to live and work in is
to incorporate quality of life growth management into every aspect of the local
land use and development review process. A sound quality of life growth
management QLGM plan preserves quality of life through growth management.
QLGM
Plans are developed through a
process that maximizes participation through public opinion surveys,
neighborhood meetings and focus groups that identify the factors your community
deems important. These mechanisms develop objective criteria to evaluate how
growth scenarios affect quality of life factors that identify and rate realistic
growth scenarios.
Maximizing
Community Participation to Select the Most Desirable Growth Scenario
The
Draft QLGM plan sets forth the
process used to select a desired growth scenario, benefits provided, changes to
laws and government programs required to achieve a desired pattern of growth as
well as
improvements to infrastructure. A draft plan is then circulated for
review and a final document is formally adopted by your local elected body.
A
New Plan for Your Area if your current plan is about to expire or rates poorly based on the Quality of Life Growth Management
system, we can assist you in carrying out the outlined steps and/or conduct a community workshop and assist you in
formulating a planning strategy for
your community.
Ensuring future growth
patterns that match the desired scenario set forth in the QLGM plan requires
amending local laws that regulate development. These laws include zoning and
subdivision ordinances and development regulations as well as changes in how your
tax dollars are spent, hence amendments to local budgets and capital
improvement program. The QLGM planning
process should be repeated every six to ten years or when conditions warrant
reconsideration of your community's growth scenario.
