Envision Chapin
The plan relates existing conditions to a corresponding list of short, medium, and long term goals that reflect how the town should grow over the next ten years in order to maintain and enhance the current quality of life that makes Chapin a distinct and desirable community in which to live. The ultimate goal of the plan is to establish a set of guidelines and procedures that will serve as a tool for making informed decisions about land development, economic growth, infrastructure improvements, housing and transportation needs, and protecting natural and cultural resources.

Unified Zoning and Development Ordinance
The updated UDO will serve as an implementation tool for the vision statements and action items set forth in the Town's Comprehensive Plan: Envision Chapin. The Town currently maintains a separate Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision/Land Development Regulations that regulate development and redevelopment within the Town. The development of the UDO will result in a cohesive document that is streamlined, reorganized, and easy to navigate. The proposed UDO will have sections that address specific topics and standards ranging from review procedures and zoning districts to development standards such as parking, signage and architectural standards, and definitions.
