Document Summary
For communities to prepare plans, they must understand that, to turn their aspirations to reality, they require tools that can guide the many decision- makers with an interest. A plan without tools for implementation is probably destined to gather dust on the shelf, and planning tools without a plan add up to meaningless or even arbitrary regulation. These tools all have a specific role and capacity in implementing a community plan. The ultimate aim of plan-makers is to establish the conditions that will attain the goals of the plan. Planning tools act as an interface between the policies of the plan and the aims of those who make decisions that transform the physical environment. Two basic needs of plan implementation: guide development on private land. Vacant or undeveloped areas: coordinate public development efforts. Around these two dimensions have developed the best-know and most refined planning tools, such as zoning and site-plan control/development control.
