What is a Future Land Use Plan?
A Future Land Use Plan is a planning tool used by cities to show how different areas of land are intended to be used in the future. It's a visual representation of how a community plans to grow and develop over time.
The map categorizes land into various uses such as residential, commercial, industrial, parks, and public spaces. It helps guide decisions on zoning, infrastructure, and development, ensuring a balance between housing, businesses, and other needs while considering factors like population growth, transportation, and environmental impact.
In short, it's a guiding document for city staff to ensure development is aligned with the city’s future goals/needs.
