Section 10-A1210. EDU -2.2 SCHOOLS IN COMMUNITY PLANNING

 

1210.1School facility planning should be integrated with broader community planning efforts such as Small Area Plans and revitalization plans.

Coordinated planning also provides a means for residents to address land use, design, transportation, and physical planning issues associated with schools, and to voice opinions on the types of non-educational services that might be provided on school campuses. 1210.1
