EXISTING CONDITIONS The existing land use pattern of the county is depicted on the Existing Land Use Map (Figure 2.2). That map shows that the general patterns that were established in the 1940's have continued into the present. While the western part of the county (west of I-95) remains largely natural or agricultural, the area east of I-95 is largely urban or agricultural. In the past, expansion of urban uses has followed development of the transportation system. As such, commercial and industrial land uses that require high visibility and access to both markets and suppliers are located along major transportation routes and centers. While residential uses are located in areas that offer natural and recreational opportunities and access to employment, educational facilities, and commercial centers, agricultural uses form a transition from natural to urban uses in more remote but easily accessible areas.
