These parcels <br /> are all zoned rural buffer, and are located within the rural buffer land use category as <br /> designated in the future land use map in the Comprehensive Plan. The property is also located <br /> within the rural buffer rural residential area, as defined within the Joint Planning Land Use Plan. <br />
