McMinnville’s Comprehensive Plan has been divided into three interrelated volumes. Volume I, providing the background information, is both the narrative of and supporting documentation for the goals and policies developed by the community. It is a reference resource that can be used to interpret the intent of the goal and policy statements. Volume II contains the actual goal and policy statements. These statements are the culmination of the research, inventories, and projections of Volume I and reflect the directives expressed through the citizen involvement process in adopting the plan. All future land use decisions must conform to the applicable goals and policies of this volume. Volume III consists of the implementing ordinances and measures created to carry out the goals and policies of the plan. Principle among these are the comprehensive plan and zoning maps, the annexation, zoning and land division ordinances, and the planned development overlays placed on areas of special significance.
