When accommodating growth, which of the following is NOT defined by the master plan?

The master plan is a comprehensive framework that outlines the long-term vision for a community's growth and development. It includes various elements that guide decision-making related to land use, infrastructure, and public services to ensure the community can meet the needs of its residents.

Environmental conservation efforts are typically not specifically defined by the master plan but may be addressed through separate policies or regulations. While a master plan may include general principles for sustainable development and may recognize the importance of environmental protection, the specifics of conservation efforts, such as habitat preservation or pollution control, are often managed through distinct environmental regulations or programs, which could be outlined in zoning laws or environmental policies rather than in the master plan itself.

In contrast, facilities for local government, new construction requirements for streets, schools, and similar infrastructure, as well as new construction needed for utilities such as power, water, and sewer are essential components of a master plan. These elements are integral to accommodating growth and ensuring that the community can support an increasing population. Thus, they are explicitly defined within the context of the master plan.
