Planning is a process of rational decision making about future development that considers all functional and natural systems and activities relating to the use of lands. Planning is collaborative and vision driven often collated into a plan document, which guide development and land use. The outcomes of planning are generalized, coordinated land use maps, policy statements, and guideline documents.

Zoning consists of locally enacted laws that control specific uses of each parcel in an area and put the long-range land use plan into effect. The outcome of Zoning is a zoning ordinance and map. The zoning regulations and map should be directly related to a previously prepared and adopted Comprehensive Plan.
