415 <br /> Land Use Goal 3: <br /> A variety of land uses that are coordinated within a program and pattern that <br /> limits sprawl, preserves community and rural character, minimizes land use <br /> conflicts, supported by an efficient and balanced transportation system. <br /> Land Use Goal 4: <br /> Land development regulations, guidelines, techniques and/or incentives that <br /> promote the integrated achievement of all Comprehensive Plan goals. <br /> Objective LU-1.1: <br /> Coordinate the location of higher intensity/ high density residential and non- <br /> residential development with existing or planned locations of public <br /> transportation, commercial and community services, and adequate supporting <br /> infrastructure (i.e., water and sewer, high-speed internet access, streets, and <br /> sidewalks), while avoiding areas with protected natural and cultural resources. <br /> This could be achieved by increasing allowable densities and creating new <br /> mixed-use zoning districts where adequate public services are available. <br /> Objective LU-3.1: <br /> Discourage urban sprawl, encourage a separation of urban and rural land uses, <br /> and direct new development into areas where necessary community facilities and <br /> services exist through periodic updates to the Land Use Plan.
