Purpose of the Plan
The Elizabeth Area Plan (EAP) will be a policy document that provides the framework for future growth and development and serves as guidance for elected officials when making land use and zoning decisions. It will provide a vision for what the community wants to be in the future and will identify what public and private investments and strategies should be pursued in order to realize the plan vision.  

More specifically, the area plan will:

• involve the community through an advisory group process in developing a long-term vision for the physical development of the area;
  
• identify and address physical development issues and opportunities;
  
• identify future land uses in an overall community-wide context;
  
• recommend future transportation and infrastructure improvements;
  
• provide community design policies;
  
• provide direction on the preservation and/or protection of the natural environment;
  
• provide implementation strategies for private and public investment decisions needed to realize the plan vision.
