LAND USE Forecasts and Community Designation □ Include a table of forecasted population, households, and employment for 2020, 2030, and 2040, consistent with the Council’s forecasts. □ Remember, Council forecasts must be used consistently throughout your entire comprehensive plan. □ Your transportation plan needs to allocate forecasts to transportation analysis zones (TAZs). □ Your water and wastewater plans need to reflect forecasts to plan for urban services. □ Your land use plan must reflect and be coordinated with your forecasts. □ Include a map acknowledging your regional Community Designation(s) and acknowledge the overall density expectations for your Community Designation(s). □ Each Community Designation identifies both Council and Community Roles in Thrive’s land use policy section. Plans must be consistent with Community Roles for your Community Designation(s) as well as Community Roles that apply to everyone. Existing Land Use □ Provide an Existing Land Use Map with a land use legend. □ Provide an Existing Land Use Table. Calculate total acres and percent of total acres for each land use category. □ Land uses categories on the map and in the table, as well as any text references must all be consistent with one another. □ Show existing regional parks, park reserves, and special recreation features with a land use of “Park” (or your equivalent) on your Existing Land Use Map. Future Land Use □ The Future Land Use plan must be consistent with the Council’s forecasts of population, households, and employment and identify sufficient land to support your community’s forecasted growth. □ Provide a Future Land Use Map and land use legend, including density ranges for all land uses that allow residential development. □ Provide a Future Land Use Table. Calculate total acres and percent of total acres for each land use category for each 10- year planning period (2020, 2030, and 2040). □ Define each land use category shown on the Future Land Use Map. Land use categories must be used consistently throughout your plan. □ Land use categories must include types of allowed uses and the minimum and maximum densities (“the allowable density range”) for all categories that allow residential uses. Allowed uses should include a description of allowable housing types such as single family, detached, duplexes, townhomes, etc. □ For each “mixed use” category, define an expected share of individual land uses and identify the permitted density range for residential uses. For example, Mixed Use Downtown might have an expectation of 30% commercial, 40% office, and 30% residential with a density of 10-15 units per acre. □ Acknowledge Council-approved master plan boundaries of regional parks, park reserves, and special recreation features by guiding the properties with a land use of “Park” (or your equivalent) on your Future Land Use Map. For Communities within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and Rural Centers: □ Identify employment locations and provide a measurement of intensity of planned employment. Employment locations are typically the areas guided for commercial, office, industrial and institutional uses. Acceptable measurements of intensity include Floor Area Ratio (FAR), building footprint or impervious coverage. Ranges for measuring intensity are acceptable.
