Section 6807 - Comprehensive development plan of the District
(a) The Commission shall prepare a plan as expressed in maps, figures, and text which shall, among other elements, include: Statements of objectives, standards, principles and policies pertaining to the physical development of the District; existing and proposed patterns and intensity of land use; existing and proposed traffic circulation and transportation systems; existing and proposed public facilities, programs and utilities. The plan shall include such other features and programs as may come wholly or partially within county jurisdiction; and in addition, include those planning elements existing and proposed within a city or town as are likely to bear an important relationship to the physical development of the district. The plan shall be a public record, but its purpose and effect shall be solely as an aid to the Commission in the performance of its duties. A copy of the plan shall be forwarded to the State Planning Office and all municipalities within the County for review. After the Commission adopts the plan or amendments thereto, the plan shall be forwarded to the county government for formal action.
(b) The Commission may also prepare a recommended 6-year capital improvements program including an annual capital budget and various codes and ordinances intended to implement the comprehensive plan.
(c) The Commission may, from time to time, amend, extend or add to the plan under the provisions of subsection (a) of this section.
(d) The plan may cover areas within the corporated limits of any city or town in Sussex County, to the extent that such areas shall be deemed, in the judgment of the Commission, to be related to the planning of the District. The plan shall have no legal effect in such areas except when such areas request inclusion within the District as provided for in § 6802 of this title.
(e) The Commission shall encourage the cooperation of the cities and towns within Sussex County in any matter concerning the plan and, if requested, shall advise the governing body or authority of any city or town in Sussex County with respect thereto.
