HomeMy WebLinkAboutPlanning 2015-07-23 Item 6 - Public Hearing: General Comprehensive Plan Updates - Attachment B: Draft Comprehensive Land Use Map LegendCOMPREHENSIVE LAND USE MAP LEGEND The Land Use map included in the Plan reflects the goals and policies within the Comprehensive Plan elements. It conveys the long -term plan for the primary -use character of the various city neighborhoods. All areas of the City have distinct characters, some established many years ago and some currently evolving. There are a few parcels of land that arc remnants of the City's history as a farming community, natural areas being preserved and enhanced but most land is now suburban residential, commercial, and industrial. Changes in existing land use patterns are proposed in some areas such as the Southcenter Subarea and the Tukwila International Boulevard District to reflect the community's goals. Such change is expected to occur gradually, as strategic plans for specific areas are developed, as the plans are implemented and promoted, and as public and private investment is made. The land use designations employed on the map are defined below.
