In general, the optimal period for updating a comprehensive plan is five to seven years. The ever-changing nature of community development and the quick-paced evolution of technological change requires constant assessment of resident needs and adaptations of local land use codes (e.g., zoning, subdivision regulations, stormwater management planning and pollution prevention, wetland protection). As an example, video rental businesses came and went in less than a generation. Local land use codes were just beginning to reflect their existence before technology changed and video rental became extinct. The same dynamic is occurring with land use planning and regulation of commercial-scale solar system energy systems, 5G cellular technology and electric vehicle charging stations. With this quickening rate of change among uses of land, community redevelopment planning and land use management techniques need to keep pace so that land use outcomes match resident expectations.
