PLAN REXBURG BACKGROUND & OVERVIEW
What is a Comprehensive Plan (Plan)?A community-informed policy document that considers many facets of the community, including but not limited to:•Responding to growth;•Ensuring orderly land use and development patterns•Identifying where major infrastructure and facilities should be anticipated•Managing resource allocation and park and open space planning•Promoting economic development and regional coordination
What a Comprehensive Plan is NOT…•A regulatory document•An attempt to annexproperty outside the City •An attempt to increase the City’s Impact AreaRexburg’s Impact Area is land just outside of the city boundaries in which the city can potentially expand and annexation into the city can occur.Annexation: the process of bringing property into the City limits. Rexburg may annex land one of two ways: by receiving a petition from a consenting property owner with land contiguous with the City boundary, or when a property has been completely encircled by land located in the City’s jurisdiction (referred to as an "enclave").
Comprehensive Plan vs. Regulation
How is the Plan used?The Plan informs land use decisions such as:Preparation of specific project plans, Prioritization of public facility improvements, Adoption of land use and transportation related ordinances, and Review of development proposals.
Implementing the PlanThe Plan should be a living document that is used on a regular basis and updated as needed.Land use decisions should be in aligned with the Land Use Planning Tools.Implementation Measures (goals, objectives, and actions) should be reviewed annually and integrated into the Capital Improvements Plan.
