Comprehensive Plan

Kentucky Revised Statue 100 (Kentucky Law ) requires every county in Kentucky to create a Comprehensive Plan. The Pendleton County Planning Commission adopted it's first Comprehensive Plan in 2002 and updated this plan in 2006. The Pendleton County Comprehensive Plan can be viewed through the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission's website (see link below).

A Comprehensive Plan is a statement of the community's goals and objectives.  The Plan expresses where the community is today and where it desires to be in the future, with recommendations on how to progress forward.  As such, the plan is a guide to decision making and a foundation for more detailed planning efforts.  The plan may be implemented through a Capital Improvements Program, annual budgets, smaller scaled and more detailed plans, day-to-day operations, and through the efforts and resources of private citizens, businesses, and organizations.

The plan can serve as a good general introduction to community issues for a new resident, staff member, planning commissioner, or elected official.

The Comprehensive Plan is not a fixed document, but rather part of an ongoing planning and implementation process.  Because conditions and circumstances are constantly changing, planning efforts must continuously be reevaluated and adjusted.

Kentucky Law requires the Comprehensive Plan to be reviewed and, if needed, updated every five (5) years or at any point deemed necessary by the Planning Commission.
