The Tolikan Chapter Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) is a roadmap to the desired future of the community. The purpose is to: (1) improve public involvement through cooperation and understanding. (2) facilitate economic development, public facilities, and housing projects. (3) preserve the landscape and improve the way rangelands are managed; and (4) implement an effective and efficient local government system. The plan emphasizes relationships amongst several components. This includes: housing, public and community facilities, utilities and roads, economic development, and open space/rangeland.
Each component of the plan contains goals, policies and/or action steps aimed at addressing the community’s issues, desires, and needs. The plan will serve as a tool to educate the Navajo Nation government, neighboring chapters, and county and state governments about the issues and goals of Tolikan Chapter. The plan was approved in December 2015 by the Resources and Development Committee of the Navajo Nation Council.
“This Plan is a guideline and an instrument to be used by community leaders who make the decisions regarding physical development. It is based on the community’s needs and desires.”
Comprehensive plans are referred to as land use plans because they deal with issues related to land use.
