Sector One Chapter 3 - Tomorrow <br />Future Land Use Plan <br />The future land use plan indicates how land will be used in the future, not how the <br />land is currently being used nor how the land is currently zoned. <br />This section describes the future land use pattern for Sector One, as developed through <br />the planning process based on the concerns and desires of the stakeholders, the goals and <br />policies of the city's adopted master plan, and general urban and regional planning <br />principles. The descriptive text in this Plan, as well as the Future Land Use Map, are <br />intended to guide development - related decisions by the City Council and the Planning <br />and Zoning Commission. <br />The Sector One future land uses by category are summarized in Table 3 -1, below. <br />Table 3 -1: Future Land Use <br />Land Use Category <br />Acreage <br />Percentage <br />Very Low Density Residential <br />0.0 <br />0.0% <br />Low Density Residential <br />380.4 <br />41.9% <br />Medium Density Residential <br />10.8 <br />1.2% <br />High Density Residential <br />22.5 <br />2.5% <br />Commercial <br />Neighborhood Commercial <br />4.7 <br />0.5% <br />Office- Professional <br />0.0 <br />0.0% <br />Community Commercial <br />77.1 <br />8.5% <br />General Commercial <br />86.5 <br />9.5% <br />Mixed Use <br />96.8 <br />10.7% <br />Industrial <br />9.5 <br />1.0% <br />Public and Institutional <br />20.5 <br />2.3% <br />Open Space <br />111.2 <br />12.2% <br />Streets (existing & proposed) <br />88.3 <br />9.7% <br />TOTAL <br />908.3 <br />100.0% <br />Vern Low Density Residential <br />Very Low Density Residential (VLDR) is characterized by residential housing at an <br />overall density of 0 to 3 homes per acre.
