Policy 1.16.1
The City shall continue to adopt and/or revise
regulations to continue to enforce zoning
regulations, which, unless provisions a re made for
otherwise in the Problems and Opportunities section
of this element, shall correspond to the Future Land
Use Plan in accordance with the following
descriptions of land use categories. The uses
allowed under each land use category shall be
construed to be the maximum range of uses, but
shall not indicate that a particular use is necessarily
allowed in a land use category or zoning district.
The zoning regulations or other provision of the
City's Comprehensive P lan o r C ode of Ordinances
may prohibit or regulate certain specific uses if
doing so would be reasonable. Furthermore, other
uses which have land use characteristics wb. ich that
are very similar to those which aro uses listed under
a particular land use category may also be allowed
in that land use category.
Uses allowed in all land use categories: Vacant or
undeveloped land, open space, preservation and
conservation areas, bodies of water and water
management tracts, and rights-of-way; agricultural

as a principal use, or utility plants, unless
specifically allowed.
General rules for all land use categories: All
attached single-family, condominium, and
cooperative dwellings which exist at the time of the
adoption of this comprehensive plan shall be
construed to be in conformance with the densities
shown on the Future Land Use Plan, regardless of
the existing density, with respect to the continuance,
repair, and reconstruction of same, unless the entire
site occupied such dwellings is cleared and
redeveloped, in which case, the maximum density
shall be that which is shown on the Future Land Use
Plan. The aspect of this policy concerning non-
conforming densities is to be codified in the City's
Zoning regulations. Dwellings, which are built on
nonconforming 1 ors with a reasonable lot area and
on which construction is permitted in the zoning
regulations, shall also be construed to conform to
the densities shown on the Future Land Use Plan.
Mobile home parks in which the residential density
exceeds the maximum density shown on the Future
Land Use Plan shall be permitted to continue at the
existing density, at the non-conforming density,
until the use of the entire mobile home park is
terminated. All new mobile home parks shall
conform to the density shown on the Future Land
Use Plan.
Variances and exceptions to the development
regulations which have been adopted in accordance
with the land use categories below, which are the
minimum variance or exception necessary to allow
for the reasonable development of property, shall be
construed to be consistent with the use and intensity
guidelines set forth below.
