Future Land Use Implications

The Community Development Plan Map, based upon the findings, policies and implementation strategies, depicts lot-by-lot land use designations. The Community Development Code Map is used in association, to determine whether a parcel is within an ESTABLISHED, DEVELOPING, REDEVELOPING or SPECIAL PURPOSE DISTRICT (Hillsides or Floodplains). The land use designations of the Community Development Plan Map may be briefly summarized as follows:

Low Density Residential - maximum permitted densities up to 8.7 dwelling units per acre within 275 feet of a Collector Street, 4.9 dwelling unites per acre on the remainder of the Low Density Residential areas.
