Overview

The Department of Planning and Zoning’s Division of Comprehensive and Community Planning (DCCP) is responsible for the oversight, development, and monitoring of various comprehensive and community planning efforts, including the County’s General Plan, area plans and studies (such as Ellicott City and Downtown Columbia) and Sustainable Community designations (Long Reach, North Laurel-Savage, and Ellicott City). The Division also supports the implementation of certain policies and actions found within these plans. DCCP serves as a resource to educate citizens about planning, zoning and land use through the national award winning PlanHoward Academy and through other county-wide community engagement initiatives.
