This current addition of the Polk County Comprehensive Plan comprises the original text adopted in 1978 and all subsequent revisions through December 20, 1989.

These elements include: Citizen Involvement; Agricultural Lands; Forest Lands; Natural Resources; Willamette River Greenway; Land Capability and Resources Quality; Recreation; Population and Economics; Public Facilities and Services; Urbanization; Housing; Transportation; and Energy Conservation. The reports provide an accounting of circumstances prevailing during the period they were authored (mid to late 1970's).... This document is the text of the Comprehensive Plan which sets forth goals and policies resulting from the background studies contained in the aforementioned reports. Together with the Comprehensive Plan Map, these goals and policies are intended to serve as a guide for land use planning and development in Polk County. Included within this text are provisions for review, evaluation and update of the Plan and procedures for its amendment. And finally, the Implementation section of the Plan is a brief overview of techniques and tools available for carrying out Plan goals, policies and general intent. [From the Plan]
