Long range planning is an analytical process that examines the physical, social, and economic aspects of the city. Through this analysis, long range planning helps the community look at the options it has for development and change. Examples of long range planning activities in Sandy include revising the Transportation System Plan, working on the Comprehensive Plan, and completing modifications to the Development Code.
