(Figure 1) (Figure 2) It has been developed in conformance with the guidelines and requirements cited in West Virginia State Code, Chapter 8A, Article 3, Section 1. The current 2014 Updated Vision is an update of the Twenty-Twenty Vision. The Twenty-Twenty plan was designed to serve the needs of the community during a planning period of approximately 20 years. This plan will undergo an additional revision within 10 years (by 2024) or as needed. The Comprehensive Plan is meant as a guide to assist officials with decisions about the future development of Kanawha County. It establishes countywide goals and recommends strategies to achieve those goals. It sets policy directions that will help design developmental tools such as subdivision regulations, transportation plans and options, and other future projected projects. It does not consist of legislative mandates or new ordinances. Modern comprehensive planning can be defined as follows: A systematic way of anticipating, causing, preventing, or monitoring change related to the provision of public and/or private facilities and programs. It is a continuous process of change in response to new social values, funding, lifestyle patterns, trends, technology, legislation, and availability of resources… Directory: documents -> planning documents -> Nonprofit grant application documents -> The Truth about the Rwandan Genocide documents -> Annual InStructional unit plan documents -> Chaos equipment included planning -> Conservation Assessment for the Rocky Mountain Tailed Frog in Oregon and Washington As planning -> A. plats (preliminary and preliminary & final) – Public Hearing planning -> The world we live in is dynamic, with its many facets having multiple interactions with each other, resulting in an almost infinite number of causes and effects planning -> A conservation Assessment for the Oregon Spotted Frog ( Rana pretiosa ) March 2007 Download 3.28 Mb.
