GUIDING PRINCIPLES

The Comprehensive Plan includes a set of four
overall guiding principles, two of which relate most
directly to land use and development:

GP1— Pottawatomie County will be
QUALITY-FOCUSED and seek long-lasting
value in its approach to public and private
development and infrastructure in the county.
GP4— Pottawatomie County will be
ADAPTABLE as it plans for its future by
continuing to build on its historic industries,
including farming and ranching, while
investing in elements that will make the
County stronger and resilient to economic
trends and other changes.

GOALS

1. Site new growth in appropriate locations with
supportive infrastructure and mechanisms to
financially support itself.

2. Preserve the existing rural character of the
County.

3. Preserve existing agricultural and rural areas,
with new growth being concentrated around
existing areas of development, including the
incorporated cities within the County.

4. Ensure consistent high-quality expectations
for development, supported by updated
development regulations and standards, and
building codes.

5. Provide a variety of housing types and sizes
to accommodate the needs of existing and
prospective residents.
