 Essex County
The general theme of theses objectives is that the County should endeavor to preserve the present character of the County and enhance the quality of life for its citizens while maintaining a pace of growth and development which is managed.
This general theme, when interpreted in terms of land use, says that in general, the County should adopt a managed growth philosophy toward the use of the land over which it has zoning authority; and that development should be of a controlled nature, channeled into the most appropriate areas and discouraged in other areas.
Moreover, the County has determined that such a philosophy is necessary to cost-effectively sustain adequate levels of public services and facilities in the form of schools, transportation networks, sewer, water, police, fire and health care services which will be required to support present and future residents.
