A primary reason for a community to prepare a comprehensive plan is to establish a framework for the future, especially as it relates to decisions regarding growth and regulation of development to protect and maintain the health, safety and welfare of the community. A plan also helps to set priorities for public expenditures.

The Town of Cutler Comprehensive Plan is intended to provide an overall framework for planning. Comprehensive Planning is defined in State Statue 66.1001. This plan follows closely the requirements outlined in that statute. A comprehensive plan is developed for a variety of reasons, including:
Identifying areas appropriate for development and preservation over the next 20 years;
For recommending land uses in specific areas of the town; and
To guide elected officials with town derived objectives for making land use decisions.
The purpose of a Comprehensive Plan is to guide future growth and development in the Town over the next 10 to 20 years. A comprehensive plan provides the vision and direction for natural resource protection, housing and economic development, transportation and community facilities, land use, intergovernmental relations, and other factors that together form the community’s future. Comprehensive planning was enacted to encourage long-range planning for communities and provide consistency in land use decision making. The Comprehensive Plan is a guide that elected officials, residents, and business owners can use for directing growth and redevelopment in the community. The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range policy document consisting of goals, objectives, and policies prepared to meet the State’s definition of a comprehensive plan as defined under Section 66.1001.
