Section 10-A105. MOVING FROM PLAN TO ACTION

 

105.1This Comprehensive Plan also includes a chapter on plan implementation. The Implementation Element describes how the plan’s recommended actions are to be carried out and by which government agencies. Timeframes for implementation are also provided so that the plan’s implementation steps can be measured and monitored. The addition of this element is a major departure from past Comprehensive Plans for the District. It represents an important step forward in assuring accountability. 105.1

 

105.2Of course, an implementation element alone is no guarantee that the policies of this Comprehensive Plan will be followed or that its actions will be carried out. It is the job of the District administration to abide by the Comprehensive Plan and coordinate with other agencies of government to ensure that future actions respect its policies. The most important tools for doing this are zoning and coordination of capital improvement programming with the policies and actions set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. The use of these tools to carry out the Comprehensive Plan is described in the Implementation Element. 105.2
