Per Chapter 163 of Florida Statutes, local governments are required to create, adopt and maintain a Comprehensive Plan. Dade City's Comprehensive Plan identifies the principles, guidelines, standards, and strategies for the orderly and balanced future economic, social, physical, environmental, and fiscal development of the area and reflects the City's vision and community commitments which implement the plan.
These principles and strategies guide future decisions in a consistent manner and contain programs and activities to ensure the Comprehensive Plan is implemented. The sections of the Comprehensive Plan are structured as Goals, Objectives, and Policies and describe how Dade City's programs, activities, and land development regulations are implemented.
