Abstract
This professional project originated from the need of various coastal communities to engage in updating their outdated comprehensive plans. These planning processes will involve technical, legal, and practical decisions that can be time-consuming and cumbersome to small, rural, communities with limited staff and financial resources. The goal of this project is to aid these coastal jurisdictions in their planning efforts by creating a guide that will detail the steps necessary to create updated comprehensive plans, identify particular challenges these communities face in the planning process, as well as provide recommendations on next steps for how to bring their comprehensive planning practices into the contemporary era. To do this the report will explore the concepts of conventional and contemporary planning as they exist in the planning literature. These concepts will then be considered in the context of the Oregon Statewide Planning System which governs comprehensive planning in the state. Finally, select cases will be reviewed using content analysis techniques to determine how they perform from both a conventional and contemporary perspective.
