JLUS FactsJLUS Facts

A JLUS IS NOT: • a regulatory document• an enforceable policy / action

A JLUS IS:• A collaborative process • A body of information that assists decision makers in making informed decisions

• A set of recommended strategies to mitigate or prevent incompatible development

• Recommendations for issues are tailored to each jurisdiction / organization

To successfully implement, the JLUS will require follow‐on implementation actions by all stakeholders, including appropriate public involvement
