SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (SF): This category provides

Section 4. Statement of Intent on the use of land use
plans. The future land use map is intended to provide a
reasonable prediction of the future arrangement of land uses,
given the various factors impacting the use of land. The map
should be viewed as a useful decision - making tool and not as an
absolute depiction of the future. Furthermore, the map should
not be used without a clear understanding of the following
premises:
396
The map portrays generalised future land use. The land
use categories represented on the map provide a guide
to the general type of development appropriate for a
particular site, but do not attempt to identify
specific activities. Similarly, the boundaries
depicted between land uses are also generalized. In
many cases, especially where street systems are not yet
in place, it is difficult to anticipate the exact
location and dimensions of a future use. When using
this map, the location of land uses should be
interpreted only as approximate.

The proposed land use pattern is flexible and may
change. In order to maintain it's usefulness and to be
responsive to changing conditions and community goals,
adjustments to the map will be necessary from time to
time. Again, the map should not be viewed as an
absolute portrayal of future land use, but rather as a
reasonable and acceptable guide for decision - making,
which will change over time. The Staff will use an
orderly procedure to address plan amendments and to
forward those to the Planning commission and Board of
Directors.
The plan represents a reflection of a wide variety of
considerations which influence the use of land. These
include the existing land use pattern, current zoning,
the existing street pattern, the Master Street Plan,
environmental characteristics and community goals and
objectives which are expressed through the planning
process.

i
When using the future land use plan as.a tool for decision
making, the Planning commission will make every attempt to adhere
to the above premises.
