The Urban Plan is a ten-year plan for the facilitation and control of development within a city or municipality, including land use and zoning, building and infrastructure and recreational and general public facilities. Progress on key performance indicators are tracked regularly, and the plan is reviewed and updated every five years in order to inform the new CIDP.

Description
Led by City/Municipal Board, and working with the County Executive, a three-phase process is undertaken through a Joint Technical Secretariat/Working Group, in consultation with the CBEF and with appropriate public participation and County Assembly inputs. The first phase examines the county’s spatial, physical planning and land use context and concludes with a situation analysis and baseline assessment. This is followed by a visioning phase around strategic proposals for development facilitation and control, land use and physical planning and zoning. The final phase sets out the implementation framework for capital investment and monitoring and evaluation targets. On completion and consolidation, the Urban Plan is submitted, through the County Executive, by the City/Municipal Board to the County Assembly for requisite approvals as required by law.
