Future Land Use

Future Land Use designation based on zoning dataset. It shows the categories of land uses desired over time, and their intensities. The map reflects the land uses that correspond to the long term vision, goals and policies expressed in the master plan, and it constitutes the most direct link between the Master Plan and the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. It is important to note, however, that the Future Land Use Map is not a zoning map and it does not govern design or function.Zoning regulates land use to promote smart growth and preserve the quality of life in communities. Permitted Use are allowed by right, subject to compliance with appropriate standards. Conditional Use require City Planning Commission review with a recommendation forwarded to the City Council for final action.
