The Future Land Use Map (MAP 1) depicts future land development patterns that are intended promote, preserve, and protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens. The Map is not intended to be parcel specific, but rather provides a flexible guide for the County’s desired future development patterns.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="text-align:Justify;font-style:italic;"><SPAN>Land use designations on the Future Land Use Map do not change a parcel’s zoning classification, nor do they impact continuation of existing legal land uses or other uses permitted by existing zoning. Indeed, new development that is in accordance with the Future Land Use Map should ensure appropriate siting and transitions to existing development that may differ from the identified land use on the Map in order to minimize negative impacts on existing development. Additionally, it should be noted that different densities and intensities of development are appropriate within each of the land use categories. Each application should be evaluated within the context of its surrounding existing and proposed development, as well as the timing of the infrastructure necessary to support the development.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Land use decisions should be consistent with the Future Land Use Map. The Future Land Use Map may be amended pursuant to the Code of Virginia §15.2-2.2229.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
