Comprehensive Plan; Lansing City
The comprehensive plan under reviews the plan for the city of Lansing. Through the use of zoning ordinances as the planning tools, the city of Lansing has set three distinct zoning regions as the core of its comprehensive plans (Michigan Legislature 3). The main purpose of the comprehensive plan for the city is to indicate the zones and provide the protocols for the development of public and private interests in the city. From the ordinances, the purpose of the city’s comprehensive plan is also to provide reasonable and fair basis and guidelines for the use of land as described by the laws. The distinction of the city into A1, A, B, C, DM, D1, E, F, G, H and I zones is purposed to provide different uses that each land can subjected to legally (City of Lansing Planning 1).
One goal of the comprehensive plan for the Lansing city is to ensure optimum property maintenance for all land owners in the city. Another goal is to establish a balanced land use and develop programs aimed at improving roads and transport (City of Lansing Design 1). In addition, the comprehensive goal of Lansing city plans to promote financial security of the township. Finally, another goal of the plan is to preserve the natural resources and features in the city.
To fulfill these goals, the comprehensive plan of Lansing city provides specifics of the land use by stating the type of buildings, economic activities and residential features that should be included in the land use. The comprehensive plan also includes the maps, descriptive codes and chats to direction the land use of the city. For instance, the lax Property Information (1), enumerates the land use zones by illustrating codes that guide the land use of the zones.
