Implications for Public Health & Nutrition Professionals
Does your community have a comprehensive plan? Other plans? When is your community scheduled to update its comprehensive
plan? What is the public participation process? What mechanisms and strategies will be used to implement the
plan? How are grocery stores, corner stores, fast-food restaurants,
farmers markets, community gardens, and urban agriculture referenced in your community’s zoning code? design regulations?
What is the process for amending your community’s zoning code? How can you partner with your community’s planning dept? Does your community have a food policy council or coalition?
