LAND 'USE-INFORMATION
A SUMMARY OF THE 1975-76 LAND USE SURVEY
During the ~linter of 1975-76, the Division of Long Planning and
zoning conducted a generalized land use survey for the entire City. It
was noted in the Existing Study Program that considerable
land use information was compiled through the 1972 Community' Renewal
Program (C.R.P.). Unfortunately, a careful review of this data, including
comparisons with other sources and several spot field checks, revealed that
many of the acreage figures contained in the C.R.P. data file were in
error. Therefore, it became necessary to completely recalculate the land
use acreage figures for the entire City.
The compilation of the revised land use figures involved the utilization
of several data collection methods. For the majority of the City figures
were calculated directly from Quarter Section land use maps contained in
the Division of Long Planning and Zoning office. Because these maps
have been updated only sporadically in the past several years (no comprehensive
update since approximately 1970) it was also necessary to irrp1ement
a screening process through comparisons with aerial photography taken in
1973. This screening process was underta~en only in rapidly developing
portions of the community. In addition, other in-house sources of
information on new or expa~ding land uSe developments were tapped in an
effort to prepare the most accurat2 data base Ie under the given
conditions.
Acreage figures were obtained for each of nine major land use categories:
Single and Two Family Residential
Multiple Fami Residential
Cormne rci al
Industrial
Public and Semi-Public
Educational
Co~~unication, Transportatio~ and utilities
Streets and Alleys
Vacant
Totals were prepared on both a Ci ty-wide basis and individually for each
of sixteen Planning Areas.
Land use acreage Were previously compiled for areas adjacent to
tJle City during preparation of the 1975 Study utilizing a
