A General Plan (sometimes referred to as a “Master Plan”) guides a community in making land-use decisions. Smithfield City’s rich agricultural heritage, coupled with the need to accommodate new industries and population growth, requires the establishment of this type of framework to effectively organize land-uses. The General Plan is a tool to help guide zoning, budgeting, and capital improvement decisions and public policy-making. By implementing this General Plan, Smithfield City can create and sustain a stable and prosperous growth pattern. The General Plan contains a land-use map that depicts land-uses. The General Plan and the land-use map work together in creating a focused direction for developing the community.
