		Cities and counties "plan" in order to identify important community issues (such as new growth, housing needs, and environmental protection), project future demand for services (such as sewer, water, roads, etc.), anticipate potential problems (such as overloaded sewer facilities or crowded roads), and establish goals and policies for directing and managing growth.
		A community plan is a portion of the local general plan focusing on the issues pertinent to a particular area or community within the city or county.
		Environmental analysis must be done as early as possible in the process of considering a project and must address the entire project.

	Preparing for an Uncertain Future - Environmental Strategic Planning Essentials (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The very nature of environmental issues has grown much more complex: from local contamination to global impacts; from toxic hot spots to breaks at the DNA level; from pollution control to supply chain reliability; from regulations to voluntary product certi- fications; and so on.
		The Catch-22 dilemma is that cutbacks in staffs and belt tightening have forced many environmental organizations into a reactive or maintenance mode — too busy to research these issues, examine the interrelationships and assess the potential impact on their companies.
		Indeed, one of the most important outcomes of the planning process is that it leads to greater management awareness of environmental issues and opportunities.
