Land Use Planning
Land use planning involves the process of managing and regulating the use of land within a municipality to promote orderly development, environmental sustainability, and the overall well-being of the community. It encompasses zoning, land development policies, and strategic plans to ensure that land resources are used efficiently and in ways that meet the needs of current and future residents.
