Land Use ( LU )
The basis of land use planning and regulation relates to the government ’ s role in protecting the public ’ s health , safety , and welfare . Local jurisdictions ’ general plans and zoning ordinances can be the most effective tools for preventing or resolving land use compatibility issues . These tools ensure the separation of land uses that are incompatible in character . Land use separation also applies where the use of one property may adversely impact the use of another . For instance , industrial uses are often separated from residential uses to avoid impacts from noise , odors , and lighting .
Key Terms Land Use Planning . Land use planning stems from the Supreme Court decision of Euclid vs . Ambler which enabled jurisdictions to regulate land use through zoning land in order to protect the public ’ s health , safety , morals , and welfare . Zoning is a land use regulation tool used by local jurisdictions that generally controls use , density , intensity , building heights , and setbacks on a parcel or lot . Most states enacted enabling legislation for local jurisdictions to also create and adopt general or comprehensive plans which are land use documents that broadly establish a vision , goals , policies , and implementation activities for a jurisdiction over a long range period of time , typically ten to twenty years , to promote compatible land use , guide growth and logical development .
Local jurisdictions ’ general plans and zoning ordinances are the most effective tools to avoid and resolve land use compatibility issues . These tools ensure similar and compatible land uses are properly located and can co‐exist while separating land uses that differ significantly in use and potential nuisance .
Sensitive Land Uses . In terms of compatibility assessment , sensitive land uses are uses that are susceptible to , and effected by , nuisances such as noise , dust and air pollution . Sensitive land uses typically include residential areas , hospitals , convalescent homes and facilities , schools , libraries , churches , recreational areas , and other similar land uses .
