Land Use Plan Classifications
Suburban Residential
The Suburban Residential district consists of single-family and multi-family residential areas that are urban or
suburban in character. The area is higher density, lots are typically smaller and public water and sewer services are
required or planned. Streets should be developed to a paved standard and larger subdivisions should provide
sidewalks and public areas. (These areas may include the following zones: Suburban Residential, Suburban
Residential 1 & 2, and Urban Residential. *)
Rural Residential
The Rural Residential district includes areas that, due to location or site conditions, are best suited for large -lot
single-family low- density residential development. Homes in this district typically rely on individual on -site water
supply and wastewater disposal systems. Streets typically are gravel and subdivisions do not include sidewalks.
(These areas may include the following zones: Rural Residential and Rural Residential 1, *)
Mixed Use
The Mixed Use district fosters a compatible mix of retail, service, office, public, institutional, recreational and multi-
family residential uses. The district does not prescribe specific proportions for these uses, only that all these uses are
desirable within the district. The Mixed Use classification should accommodate existing similarly developed areas
and areas along corridors to provide transitions between the corridor and residential zones. (These areas may
include the following zones: Limited Commercial, Central Mixed Use, Central Commercial, and Historic Townsite. *)
Commercial
The Commercial district is intended to create a concentrated, vibrant, and attractive downtown business district
which is convenient to both motorists and pedestrians. The district is designed to attract commerce from within and
beyond the community itself. (These areas may include the following zones: Central Mixed Use, Central
Commercial, General Commercial and Light Industrial. *)
Industrial
This classification includes areas used for production, manufacturing, processing, packaging, distribution, and other
similar activities. The noise levels, odors and emissions typically generated are higher than other land uses and may
adversely affect neighboring properties. (These areas may include the following zones: Conservation, Heavy
Industrial and Light Industrial. *)
Institutional
The institutional district provides an area in which government and tax exempt institutions can offer social and
cultural amenities to the citizens of the community. The primary use is public, non - profit, and quasi - public uses
including government offices and facilities, schools, churches, and other community- service oriented facilities. (These
areas may include properties located in any zoning district. *)
Parks, Recreation and Open Space
This classification includes public recreation facilities, as well as undeveloped lands intended to provide for
conservation of natural or scenic resources. These areas can be used for a variety of passive and active outdoor and
indoor sports and recreational activities. Areas that may provide future natural resource development should be
included in this category. (These areas may include properties located in any zoning district. *)
* The proposed land use may or may not reflect existing zoning. The proposed land use designations should be used as a tool to provide guidance as a vision for
future development of the City.
