Five Basic Principles of Sound Land Use Policy

 

LandWatch will work for sound land use policies that:

  1. Provide affordable housing for local working families, located within mixed-income neighborhoods.

  2. Create urban growth boundaries to stop costly and destructive urban sprawl.

  3. Establish strong, long-term protection for commercially productive farmlands.

  4. Require that adequate public facilities and services, including police, fire, schools, parks, transportation facilities, and reliable water supplies, be in place prior to, or concurrently with, new development.

  5. Improve the regulatory process by making it more effective, efficient and accountable.

 

Adopted May 17, 2001


LandWatch's mission is to protect Monterey County's future by addressing climate change, community health, and social inequities in housing and infrastructure. By encouraging greater public participation in planning, we connect people to government, address human needs and inspire conservation of natural resources.
