Land Use Policies <br />GENERAL <br />1. Relate land use development to transportation needs, desired development <br />and community priorities. <br />4 2, Establish planning districts within the community based upon division <br />by physical barriers or homogeneous land use characteristics. <br />3. <br />Analyze all remaining undeveloped land parcels on an individual <br />basis to determine the most appropriate uses within the context of the <br />planning district in which it is located and the community as a whole. <br />4. Ensure that intensification of land use activity and development is <br />accompanied by sufficient corresponding increases in related supportive <br />and service facilities such as parks, off - street parking, fire and police <br />protection, etc. <br />5. <br />Avoid excess allocation of use types on a community as well as a <br />subarea, development district basis. <br />6. Promote development which conserves and makes efficient use of land. <br />7. Consider the removal of land from the tax rolls only when it can be <br />clearly demonstrated that such removal is in the public interest. <br />8. Prohibit development on shorelands, wetlands and other natural features <br />that perform important environmental functions in their natural state. <br />Where desirable. and practical, maintain such natural features in a <br />condition for appropriate recreational uses. <br />9. Locate related and compatible land uses in compact, functional districts. <br />10. Provide transitional zones between distinctly differing and incompatible <br />land use activities. <br />11. Reduce the impact of grossly incompatible land uses wherever possible <br />through redevelopment and /or relocation. <br />21 <br />
