Results of careful planning <br />Keeping city plans and ordinances current can save money and headaches. <br />Whether disagreements about the vision for future of city, or disputes <br />between neighboring property owners, land use conflicts eventually confront <br />most city officials. In creating comprehensive plans and adopting zoning <br />ordinances, cities can proactively engage the public to create grounds rules <br />for all. <br />Planning and zoning a community is a substantial undertaking that deserves <br />thoughtful consideration. The more effort a city puts in at the front end by in <br />adopting and amending plans and ordinances, the easier it will be to <br />administer. Plans and ordinances adopted years ago may not be consistent <br />with current vision, particularly in an economic downturn. A capital <br />improvement program, in particular, should be regularly revisited for <br />consistency with current conditions. <br />VII.
