Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Comprehensive Plan will need to follow IC 36-7-4-502 with regards to content and planning elements, but the Town of Plainfield desires much more than adherence with state statute. A comprehensive plan is the leading policy document and tool to help a community create a vision, guiding principles, and recommendations for decision-making. The Plan should be designed to include the following: Key Planning Principles, Themes, or Topic Areas — The Plan should identify topics areas or planning principles which reflect themes identified from gathering ring public input. Each topic area should be supported by a goal and several objectives that serve to organize the specific actions detailed in the plan.; Goals, Policies, and Actions &nmash; Goals should provide intended outcomes expressed in simple terms for the plan's topics areas or planning principles. Objectives will provide subthemes within the goal that serve to organize actions. Actions will identify a project, policy, or program.; Future Land Use and Character — Thinking beyond the traditional Future Land Use Map, the Plan should identify desired character traits for different areas of town. The Plan should highlight the intent, primary and secondary uses, and preferred development standards for unique areas to help define the desired character.; Vision Implementation — While it is important to attach certain objectives and actions to each topic area or planning principle, the Plan should also include a table or matrix which summarizes the information for quick reference. The table should indicate the reasonable timeframe for completion and the party or parties responsible for each action.; While content is critical to the Plan's success, the way in which the information is presented is equally as important. The Plan must be of high-quality visual design and organized in a user-friendly manner. Ideally the Plan would also include unique branding which can be marketed throughout the planning process and beyond.
