The Legislature hereby finds and declares that:
1. It is in the public interest to place the primary authority for the planning process with the local governments, which are closest to the people;
2. Unregulated growth and development of the State will result in harm to the public safety, health, comfort, convenience, resources and general welfare;
3. The cities of the State have a responsibility for guiding the development of areas within their respective boundaries for the common good, and the counties have similar responsibilities with respect to their unincorporated areas;
4. City, county, regional and other planning must be done in harmony to ensure the orderly growth and preservation of the State; and
5. State participation in land use planning should be limited to coordination of information and data, the acquisition and use of federal lands within the State, providing land use planning assistance in areas of critical environmental concern when directed by the Governor or requested by local governments, and providing assistance in resolving inconsistencies between the land use plans of local governmental entities when requested to do so by one of the entities.
