Zoning Plan
Zoning plan: comprehensive framework = map + text. FL: implements comp plan (specific districts, standards). Adopted by ordinance; force of law. Relationship: comp plan = vision (land use, densities); zoning = implementation (districts, uses, standards). Chapter 163: zoning consistent with comp plan; comp plan controls if conflict. Update: text amendments (rules) + map amendments (districts). Periodic review; major updates: public participation + hearings.
