LICKING COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSIONPLANNING MISSIONSThe LCPC Planning Staff has recognized five central 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.
