Land Use and You

'Tis the season for land use planning. The County plan is making its way through the Planning Commission (June 23rd, 6:30 is the first public hearing). the City of Florence plan is growing legs and isramping up to start. 

What's your perspective?

Do you believe that a plan is a good idea? I was thinking last night about all the planning that goes into taking the family on a camping trip. Pack the cooler, the cooking utensils, schedule the campground, the tent, chairs, lighter (okay, it's not entirely primative), air mattress (that's just rediculous), water filter, kids, ready the vehicle, map the route... planning makes all the difference.

Even if you forget something, you are certainly better of than if you just sat into your car and drove into the nearest site.

Although land use planning is no picnic, it makes sense to plan for growth. Even if we miss a couple of things, we are going in the right direction.
