Identified Development Areas
The identified development areas envision how the city is anticipated to
develop, grow, and mature. They show diversity in development patterns
throughout the city but do not dictate exact future land uses for specific parcels.
These areas were chosen due to the unique opportunities present at each
location. These opportunities may include such things as variety of housing
types, proximity to recreational and open space assets, and potential for new
business growth. By identifying these areas, the city can proactively impact
future change. The Future Development Areas Map and associated strategies
should therefore be used in tandem to:
• guide zoning and land use development decisions so as to ensure the

efficient and predictable use of land within the city;

• protect private and public property investments from incompatible land

uses:

• efficiently coordinate land use and infrastructure needs; and
• evaluate zoning and development-related ordinances.
