Why the Framework Planning Process Matters

​In October 2013, the City of Birmingham’s Planning Commission adopted the first Comprehensive Plan for the City in more than 50 years.  One of the recommended items from the Comprehensive Plan was the need to create community-based plans – also called Framework Plans.
​
Framework Plans are future planning documents that provide a clear vision of the kind of place the community wants to be in the future.  The Community Framework Plan influences policies that have a direct bearing on quality of life. City leaders will look to the Community Framework Plans for direction on land use, new development, transportation, housing, parks, trails and open space, utilities and economic development.  It will be used by elected officials and city staff as a guide for making short and long range policy and investment decisions – regarding land use development, zoning, transportation improvements, parks, trail, housing issues, and economic development.
