The Comprehensive Plan provides policy and planning guidance on a range of issues, including land use, transportation, housing, environmental protection, economic development, parks and recreation, urban design, historic preservation, community services and public facilities, and arts and culture. It also guides our zoning laws, such as the types of uses allowed in residential and commercial areas.

The new Comprehensive Plan represents three years of tremendous work and energy from all who participated.  Thousands of residents participated in many different roles, bringing their ideas, passion and energy to charting the District’s future. The planning process was advised by the DC Council and Mayor-appointed Task Force, and enormous input was obtained through 24 large public meetings, several small group discussions, and Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) and community briefings. An Interagency Working Group, comprised of representatives of over 20 District agencies, also helped develop and vet policies in the new plan.
