The County's Future Land Use Map, as well as its <br />goals and policies, provide a direction for economic growth and development in certain areas, while <br />preserving and protecting environmental and cultural resources. Table 7 provides the breakdown of <br />acreage and proportion of the land use in the USB Study Area, and Figure 8, Figure 9, and Figure 10 show <br />the future land use designations in and outside of the USB. <br />Low -Density Residential -2 (L-2) and Low -Density Residential (L-1) are the most common FLU designations <br />in the USB Study Area, and account for 31 % and 26%, respectively, of the land area. L-2 allows for a <br />maximum residential density of six dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and L-1 allows for three du/ac. However, <br />historically, new residential development has occurred below the maximum density allowed under the <br />County's FLU designations. These designations allow for single family and multifamily residential <br />developments. As discussed in the County's Comprehensive Plan, there is a focus on the prevention of <br />Low-density suburban sprawl within the USB by promoting clustered development, connected <br />EXISTING CONDITIONS 11 <br />
