Comprehensive Plan

2019 Future Land Use Map

The City of Dacula 2050 Comprehensive Plan acts a framework to help guide the future growth and development of the city. It ties together plans for land use, economic development, environmental protection, transportation, housing, natural resources, public infrastructure, and financial investment that are anticipated to affect the City. 

 

Benefits of a Comprehensive Plan

Effective planning ensures that future development will occur where, when, and how the community and local government wants. There are several important benefits to the entire community that result from the planning process:

  • Quality of life is maintained and improved.
  • There is a vision, clearly stated and shared by all, that describes the future of the community.
  • Private property rights are protected.
  • Economic development is encouraged and supported.
  • There is more certainty about where development will occur, what it will be like, when it will happen, and how the costs of development will be met.
