Since 2000, <br />additional development has occurred that has put more pressure on the land resources. The city <br />has actively attempted to manage growth through various means with varying levels of success. <br />As land becomes increasingly scarce, the visual and environmental impact of development has <br />become more obvious and of concern to residents. Managing development in a sustainable <br />manner that is consistent with community values is of paramount importance to citizens. <br />Although the concept of sustainability can be traced to the beginning of human societies, the <br />term "sustainable development" was first coined in the 1980s and efforts to integrate <br />sustainability concepts into state, regional, and local planning began emerging in the late 1990s. <br />1 -2 <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />
