112.4.1 Overview of Land Use Control and Land Use Planning
Example of A Verbal Policy Plan The Calvert County, MD Comprehensive Plan, 1983
It was the winner of a 1985 APA award• Its policies are concise, easy to grasp, and grouped in
sections corresponding to the six divisions of county government responsible for implementation
• It remains a policy plan, because it does not specify a program of specific actions for development management
• It contains no land use map

Example of A Land Classification Plan A Comprehensive Plan for Forsyth County, North Carolina
The plan won honorable mention from APA in 1989.• it employs a six-category system of districts, plus a category
for activity centers• it identifies both short- and long-range growth areas (4A and
4B)• policies applicable to each district are detailed in the plan.

• The land use element designates urban center villages, hub
urban villages, residential urban villages, neighborhood villages, and manufacturing/industrial centers, each with specific design guidelines
