The Land Use Element Update

The Tallahassee-Leon County Comprehensive Plan provides the blueprint for growth and development within Leon County.

The goal of the Land Use Element Update project is to align the land use and development plan with established community priorities, beginning with a comprehensive assessment and revision of the Land Use Element. This update to the Land Use Element is an opportunity to incorporate new community priorities, as well as address the structural and content-based issues. Other Elements of the Comprehensive Plan will be updated in the future.
