This is a polygon data set depicting adopted future land use designations within the Boise area of impact, as defined in Blueprint Boise, the citywide comprehensive plan. Land use designations are used to regulate and guide growth and development of the city in order to support the welfare of citizens and the community. Land uses represent the desired optimal future use of lands based on a systematic assessment conducted by the city that evaluates: 1) land and water potential; 2) alternatives for land use; and 3) economic and social conditions. Each land use designation includes specific objectives and policies for development/redevelopment as adopted in the comprehensive plan. Land use designations are not zoning districts; however, land use designations do influence the allowable zones.
