The existing land use categories are defined at the parcel-level. Land use categories are established by the Future Land Use Element of the city’s Comprehensive Plan. Extended descriptions of the land use categories can be found in the Goals, Objectives, and Policies document under Policy 4.1.1. Land use categories were implemented to allow for appropriate uses at suitable locations to meet the needs of current and projected populations. They also give the City flexibility to consider unique, innovative and carefully construed proposals that are in keeping with the surrounding character and environmental conditions of specific sites.
