Special GLUP Studies

The General Land Use Plan (GLUP) is the primary policy guide for development. Landowners may request a GLUP amendment to accommodate development of their property. However, a Special GLUP Study is needed in those instances where there is no adopted plan or where the GLUP amendment request is inconsistent with the guidance of the relevant adopted plan. For information about fees, view the Zoning Fee Schedule.
