The Wasco County Planning Department strives to make the planning process understandable, convenient, and expeditious while treating everyone in an equitable, professional and respectful manner.
- Protect investments in property by ensuring that incompatible uses do not occur on adjacent properties (right to farm, setbacks, industrial uses in commercial zones).
- Protect the environment for future generations (buffers and protections zones).
- Protect the economic health of county by coordinating private development with the provision of public services and infrastructure (roads, power, schools, fire, ambulance, etc.).
