Summary
- A “Local land use plan” is any written statement of land use policies, visions, goals and objectives adopted by local governments. This law requires that, in the event of a conflict between a duly enacted local zoning regulation and a local land use plan, the local zoning regulation shall control. Furthermore, any local government cannot use a local land use plan as authority to deny or restrict a permissible land use or physical development that is not restricted or prohibited under existing zoning regulations.
