A General Plan (sometimes referred to as a “master plan”) guides a community in
making land-use decisions. Smithfield City’s rich agricultural heritage, coupled with
the need to accommodate new industries and population growth, requires the
establishment of this type of framework to effectively organize land uses. The
General Plan is a tool to help guide zoning, budgeting, and capital improvement
decisions and public policy-making. By implementing this General Plan, Smithfield
City can create and sustain a stable and prosperous growth pattern. The General
Plan contains a land-use map that depicts land uses. The General Plan and the
land-use map work together in creating a focused direction for developing the
community.
