Comprehensive Plan

The Fort Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan (Plan) strives to be a Plan that addresses the needs and aspirations of the community. This has tremendous implications regarding the importance of community input in the development and implementation of the Plan.

The Plan also plays a significant role within Florida's growth management system. The Plan is required to be consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 187, Florida Statutes), and to be consistent with the Regional and County Comprehensive Plans. In short, the Plan should provide a critical link between the City, State, Regional, and County plans.  The Plan focuses on those issues facing the City over a twenty-year time horizon. The Plan establishes long-term direction of goals as well as short-term objectives and policies to guide implementation efforts.
