HomeMy WebLinkAboutLand Use Map amend PD1-2 PD 01-22-13 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Amending the uses shown on the Land Use Map applicable to the areas designated as PD1-2 and PD1-3 Why have a Land Use Map •The Land Use Map is intended to be used as a guide to give predictability of future development. •The creation and amendment of the Land Use Map provides the Town the opportunity to look at development from a town-wide perspective. •The Town can use the fact that a zoning request does not comport to the Land Use Plan to support their decision to deny a zoning request. Why amend the Land Use Map •The future Land Uses were assigned to properties based on planning philosophies and trends existing at the time and may not reflect current philosophies or trends. •Development opportunities may be proposed that involve Land Uses that had not been considered previously but may be conceptually viable alternatives to the Land Uses assigned. Things to consider when amending the Land Use Map •The Land Use Map should only be amended after considering the compatibility of neighboring Land Uses and potential impacts on the Thoroughfare and Open Space plans. •The Comprehensive Plan and the included Land Use Map are intended to be amended to react to development opportunities and reflect changes in development philosophies. What amending the Land Use Map does not do •It does not change the Zoning or Permitted Uses for any property. •It does not commit the Town to approve specific Zoning changes in the future.
