What is the purpose of a comprehensive plan?

  1. To provide immediate building specifications

  2. To guide the short-term development of a community

  3. To set long-term development goals for a city or county

  4. To present an annual financial budget for city improvements

The correct answer is: To set long-term development goals for a city or county

A comprehensive plan is a document that outlines long-term goals for a city or county in terms of land use, transportation, economic development, and community resources. This plan serves as a roadmap for the future development and growth of a community, highlighting areas for improvement and setting priorities for land use and development. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they focus on more immediate or short-term goals rather than long-term planning. Option A refers to building specifications, which may be a part of a comprehensive plan, but is not its primary purpose. Option B talks about short-term development, which is not the main focus of a comprehensive plan. Option D mentions an annual financial budget, which may be informed by a comprehensive plan, but is not the same as its purpose.
