2 | LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT
PLAN POTTAWATOMIE COUNTY 2040

This plan section establishes the necessary policy guidance to enable Pottawatomie County to
plan effectively for future development. Sound land use planning is essential to ensure that the
County is prepared not only to serve anticipated public infrastructure and service needs, but also
to maintain a desired rural character in some portions of the County.

Land use considerations are integrated with all other components of the Comprehensive Plan. For instance,
the transportation network provides access to land, which influences the type and intensity of development.
The provision or lack of public utilities can also dictate the location, amount and timing of development.
Similarly, proximity to natural areas and public facilities promotes public health and safety at specific locations
and, as a result, affects the development potential of an area. Site design and development character shape
community aesthetics and, thus, the perceptions held by area residents and those considering investment in
Pottawatomie County.
