The document summarizes the town planning process. It begins with identifying community issues through involving leaders and citizens. Goals, objectives and priorities are then established. Relevant data is collected and analyzed. Implementation plans are created to achieve the goals. The plan is then prepared, alternatives are evaluated, and a plan is adopted by the city council. The plan is then implemented and monitored for outcomes. Color coding maps are used to illustrate land uses and planning concepts in the town planning process.
