Burlington's Municipal Development Plan, or "Comprehensive Plan," presents the City's vision for
land use and development over the next ten to twenty year period.
A community’s Municipal Development Plan must be both visionary and strategic. It outlines goals and objectives for the future, and is the principal guide directing land use policy and decision-making. It defines the policies, programs and specific actions necessary to attain these objectives, prepares the city for growth, and provides a reliable basis for public and private investment.
This Plan is prepared every 8 years in accordance with state statute and has standing in statewide regulatory proceedings including Act 250. All City plans and programs which effect land use and development, including the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Regulations, Impact Fees, and Capital Improvement Plan, must be in conformance with the policies and directives found in Burlington's Comprehensive Plan which is regularly kept up-to-date by incorporating new area or topic-specific plans.
