Land Use Planning

Since the agency's creation in 1969, CMCOG has provided land use planning and general technical administrative support to its member local governments in the form of staff support and individual project efforts. Today, CMCOG continues to provide technical assistance to area and local governments on land development matters including, but not limited to, the preparation of land use plans, fringe area studies, zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations or other specialized studies. This service is extended to any local governments in the region and is paid for on an individual project basis.
