The geographic extent of the plan extends beyond the city limits to include an Area of City Impact jointly administered with Jerome County. The plan is organized into seven chapters beginning with an introductory chapter summarizing the purpose of the plan, the preparation process, and the plan contents. Chapter 2 introduces the reader to the City of Jerome, its setting, history, and demographics. Chapters 3 through 6 include numerous plan components, as required by Idaho Code Section 67-6508: Natural Environment, Built Environment, Public Services and Quality of Life. The Community Health discussion appears in the Quality of Life section. The Future Land Use Map appears in the Built Environment section. Chapter 7 presents an Implementation Program derived from the plan strategies organized to provide guidance to realize community priorities. Appendices with supporting documentation may be found at the end of the plan, including documentation of all public outreach associated with the planning process.
