Silverdale Borough Comprehensive Plan

A comprehensive plan is the keystone of a municipal land use-planning program.  A comprehensive plan has been referred to as a master plan for the future of a community.  Whether it is referred to as a master plan or a comprehensive plan, it provides a framework of a vision of how land use in the municipality should occur over the next ten to twenty years.

While a comprehensive plan does not necessarily provide answers to all of the questions or issues that will face a municipality, it does provide a means to arrive at the answers.  By developing a vision for the future that includes goals and objectives for various key topics, a framework is established by the comprehensive plan to guide the decision making process.
