| PLANNING MISSIONS |
| TO INFLUENCE PUBLIC POLICY: |
| A very important responsibility of the LCPC is to be an integral part of the process by which major local government decisions are made. In this process, the Planning Commission provides a long range perspective and technical planning expertise particularly as it relates to land use concerns, community development, economic development, and social issues. |
| |
| TO PROVIDE PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES: |
| The basic strength of an organization like ours is its ability to provide valued services and respected expertise to the community. The planning commission through its staff and members strives to maintain a high level of technical, planning, and administrative skills that can be put to work for the community. |
| |
| TO RESPOND TO EMERGING ISSUES AND LONG-TERM CONSIDERATIONS: |
| In the rapidly changing environment of Licking County, the Planning Commission must be responsive to current and emerging issues and at the same time be cognizant of the long term implications of such issues. The Planning Commission recognizes a responsibility to review, act upon and initiate proposals, but at the same time to maintain a comprehensive and long term perspective of the future development of Licking County. |
| |
| TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF PLANNING: |
| The job of increasing the awareness of the value of local planning is a responsibility of the Licking County Planning Commission. It is an obligation of the Planing Commission to demonstrate the value and success of all local planning efforts. |
| |
| TO HELP INTEGRATE LOCAL PLANS: |
| Within Licking County there are nearly 40 local units of government, each with a responsibility to plan for development and redevelopment. The Planning Commission recognizes that often local issues may have regional consequences going beyond local political boundaries. An important role is therefore to help coordinate planning efforts and to help make sure that local plans and policies are coordinated and compatible. |
| |
| Annexations |
| As municipalities continue to grow, pressure increases to expand their physical boundaries, and requests for annexation become a central concern for townships that adjoin growing cities and villages. A local government's ability to provide additional or better services such as central water and sewer, quality fire protection, police and emergency services, and regular road maintenance often determine the demand for annexation. Local amenities and land use requirements (including design and density restrictions) are also considerations in the annexation equation. These issues are addressed in the LCPC staff report presented to the Board of County Commissioners during every annexation hearing. In addition, this report considers procedural issues in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code including the petitioners' signatures, the plat, and the notification of adjacent land owners and the public. The size of the area to be annexed, physical conditions, and the adjacent land uses are also important planning considerations. |
