INTRODUCTION	GLENN COUNTY GENERAL PLAN 2007 - 2027
	PURPOSE AND NATURE OF GENERAL PLAN The General Plan is a comprehensive plan for growth and development in Glenn County for the next 20 years (2007-2027). It applies to all of the unincorporated area of the county outside of the cities of Willows and Orland, which have their own general plans. A general plan is often compared to a "constitution" for development, the policy basis for all land use decisions in the county. Every county and city in the State is required by State law to adopt a general plan.
