(a) Some land use decisions are far-reaching, complex determinations involving the commitment of finite resources by many levels of government and private investment. Such decisions must be coordinated so as to achieve efficient, effective and timely use of finite resources.
(b) The resource investment, both public and private, in land use decisions is long-term and therefore a process which provides a certain and stable climate for decision-making is necessary to foster rational investment of these resources.
(c) A method of achieving consistency and coordination between the levels of government, and between government and private enterprise, is essential to achieve these goals.
(d) Economic activity should be enhanced by coordinating and simplifying the various state regulatory and review processes required prior to development. It is declared, therefore, that a process for streamlining such processes be established.
