Comprehensive Development Plan Committee

FOCUS

The Dewey Beach Comprehensive Plan Committee is responsible for providing recommendations for the town’s comprehensive plan, which guides future growth, land use, and development decisions. The committee gathers public input, reviews data, and works with local and state partners to ensure the plan reflects community needs and priorities.

A comprehensive plan is defined in Title 22, Chapter 7 of the Delaware Code as:
“Comprehensive plan means a document in text and maps, containing at a minimum, a municipal development strategy setting forth the jurisdiction’s position on population and housing growth within the jurisdiction, expansion of its boundaries, development of adjacent areas, redevelopment potential, community character, and the general uses of land within the community, and critical community development and infrastructure issues. The comprehensive planning process shall demonstrate coordination with other municipalities, the county and the State during plan preparation.”

The State of Delaware requires that this plan be reviewed and updated every 10 years to keep it current and effective. This is an ad hoc committee, tasked with updating the current comprehensive plan for submission and approval by 2018.
