Sustainability & Resilience Comprehensive Plan Amendment Survey

Introduction

Prince William County is updating its Comprehensive Plan to include policies and actions that promote sustainability and resilience in the county and help us prepare for the future.

 The Comprehensive Plan is a document that explains the county’s goals for the future. It:

• Shows how the county plans to grow, develop and protect important places. 
• Expresses a shared vision for the future.
• Helps guide decisions about land use, design and the local economy.

 The Comprehensive Plan is a guide, not a set of rules. It does not:

• Set exact building heights or layouts
• Approve construction projects or funding
• Change current zoning laws or property rights

A Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) is the process the county uses to update the Comprehensive Plan based on community needs. This Comprehensive Plan Amendment will support community goals for equity, environmental health, economic prosperity, and quality of life by: 

• Filling gaps related to sustainability and resilience. 
• Supporting the county's climate and emergency preparedness goals. 
• Incorporating appropriate actions from the county’s Community Energy and Sustainability Master Plan (CESMP).
• Meeting state requirements to consider strategies that address all-hazard resilience.

Please take 10-15 minutes to complete this survey. Your answers will help guide these updates. We want to learn more about your priorities and personal experience related to sustainability and resilience. 

All survey responses will remain anonymous in any publicly-shared summaries.
