(ii) achieve the State's economic growth, resource protection, and planning policy in § 5-7A-01 of the State Finance and Procurement Article.

(i) development of a healthy local economy;

(ii) protection and appreciation of historic and cultural resources;

(iii) a mix of land uses;

(iv) affordable and sustainable housing and job options; and

(v) growth and development practices that protect the environment and conserve air, water, and energy resources, encourage walkability and recreational opportunities, and, where available, create access to transit.

(1) be used to create, enhance, support, and revitalize sustainable communities across the State; and
