The primary role of the Comprehensive Planning Division is to maintain and update the County's General Plan. The General Plan is the "constitution" or blueprint for land use in unincorporated Sonoma County. It includes maps that show where agricultural, residential, commercial and other land uses will be located, and a series of policies that guide future decisions about growth, development and conservation or resources. The General Plan provides for additional economic development while maintaining the quality of life that Sonoma County residents treasure.
