Weeks Bay Watershed Project Management Plan - Mobile Bay ...

Development of shopping areas has followed population movement. These
areas have been allocated with respect to existing centers, residential density
and transportation facilities. A substantial increase in commercial areas
within the Watershed has occurred recently, especially along the Eastern
Shore, adjacent to Highway 98 and on the outskirts of the City of Foley.
A Generalized Land Use Plan of Baldwin County was developed in 1992 by
the South Alabama Regional Planning Commission (SARPC 1993). The
plan (Figure 3) was based upon recent population changes and development
projections. The purpose of the land use plan is to designate adequate
amounts of land for delineated land uses based on the projected growth of
the county and to ensure that these comprise a harmonious arrangement of
uses for the county and its residents.
