This map is an approximate representation of proposed rule revisions to refine application of the adjacency principle, which is a policy used by the Land Use Planning Commission (the Commission) as a first screen for where people may petition to rezone for development of residential subdivisions or businesses.
The map shows primary and secondary locations, which are based on different distances from designated rural hub towns, and from public roads. To find out more about what would be possible in a primary or secondary location, click on an area shown in orange, or in orange hash marks, for a simple explanation. For more detailed information about the proposal, please visit the Commission’s website.
The measurements from public roads are “as the crow flies” except that the measurement is not carried over a waterbody or the interstate highway, unless the area is contiguous to another primary or secondary location. This is intended to account for situations where development on one side of a waterbody would be effectively separated from a town on the other side of the waterbody because it is such a long way around.
Primary and secondary locations have been both added and removed in certain MCDs based on comments and research about service provision and existing development patterns. Additions and deletions are listed in the Part 2 Memo for the Commission Meeting on October 10, 2018.
Also shown on the map are lake management classifications for lakes in the Commission’s service area. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Chapter 10 Land Use Districts and Standards list a management classification for each lake in the Commission’s service area. Management classifications indicate suitability for development of each lake, with the goal of maintaining a diversity of lake experiences (e.g., MC 3 Lakes are potentially suitable for development).
