Section 2 explains considerations leading to the development of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan map. The section summarizes alternative. land use plan maps that were considered and rejected in favor of the selected alternative.
Section 3 identifies community problems and planning issues, then sets forth local goals and strategies, which are policies adopted by the Board of Commissioners in response to identified problems and issues.
The Comprehensive Plan was prepared by the County Planning Commission with staff support from its Planning Department. The Plan was prepared in accordance with Oregon Planning Law and is based on the firm belief that the people of Coos County have a right to determine their own destiny, consistent with sound conservation and development principles. The Coos County Board of Commissioners supports the Planning Commission's efforts to develop a plan that (1) meets local needs and wishes and (2) complies with state law. The Plan is a direct response to the thousands of hours of time donated by County citizens, who thanklessly contributed to the future of Coos County.
