The Cape Cod Regional Policy Plan (RPP) is a planning and a regulatory document required by the Cape Cod Commission Act. As a planning document, the RPP develops a growth policy for Cape Cod, presents goals and recommends actions for the Commission and Cape towns, identifies key resources of regional importance, and provides the framework for town local comprehensive planning efforts. As a regulatory document, the plan presents the "Minimum Performance Standards" that are required of all Developments of Regional Impact (DRIs) that fall within the Commission's jurisdiction.

The Cape Cod Commission Act calls for an update to the plan every five years. The current Regional Policy Plan became effective on January 16, 2009.
