Comprehensive planning legislation (occasionally referred to as "Smart Growth") provides the framework for developing comprehensive plans. The legislation outlines how the newly defined "comprehensive plan" relates to previous and continuing planning efforts. Each plan must address the 9 planning elements. The detail on each comprehensive plan depends, in part, on the type of planning jurisdictions. Additionally, communities accepting state grant funds are required to incorporate the 14 planning goals and objectives. By 2010, all land use related actions (regulations, etc.) must be consistent with the adopted comprehensive plan. This includes, but is not limited to: incorporation procedures, annexation procedures, boundary agreements, subdivision regulation, extraterritorial plat review, zoning ordinances, or agricultural preservation plans. As part of the comprehensive planning process, each governmental entity must adopt a Public Participation Plan to facilitate public involvement, following procedures outlined by WI Statue 66.1001(4)
