Comprehensive Plan

The Comprehensive Plan is the blueprint for growth and development of the community. It describes the long-term direction and vision for the City. The plan assesses the issues and opportunities that the City and the community will face in the next 20 years and discusses how the City and the community will want to respond to those issues and opportunities. Then, with a focus on development and use of land in the City, it describes actions and programs the City will perform in pursuit of the vision. The Comprehensive Plan contains the long-term goals for the city, such as providing a safe and healthy environment for residents, supporting businesses to help create jobs, and preserving the high quality of life the residents of Apple Valley have come to expect.

Comp Plan Update Project:

The City of Apple Valley, between now and June, 2008, is updating the Comprehensive Plan. This is the guiding policy document for the future 20 years of decisions related to land uses, parks and trails, transit and transportation, housing, and resource management. New ideas are also being introduced: attracting more jobs, designing for active living, planning for changes in climate and energy use, anticipating technology advancements, and addressing an aging and more diverse population. There are two ways to be connected:

  1. Regularly scheduled Planning Commission meetings begin with a report on the progress of the update. Typically, the first and third Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m.
  2. A special link has been created to take you right to more in-depth information:

Current Comp Plan:

In 1999, the City Council adopted the City of Apple Valley Comprehensive Guide Plan – 2020 Update. The Comprehensive Plan (the Plan) contains chapters on land use, transportation, utilities, parks and recreation, and housing, as well as the City’s Capital Improvement Program. A copy of the Comprehensive Plan is available from the Community Development Department, or visit the.Citizens Guide to the Comprehensive Plan with maps PDF icon or with links to maps PDF icon online.

To implement the plan, the City adopts regulations for land use and development ordinances that are codified in the City’s zoning, and subdivision codes. As the blueprint for land use and development in the City, it provides the basis for all the City’s actions on both development permit applications and for use and development of City properties and facilities. All development proposals must be consistent with the goals stated in the Comprehensive Plan.
