SRPMIC General Plan - Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community

Sustainable SRPMIC . . . Planning for Generations
LAND USE MAP
The Land Use Map for the General Plan depicts the proposed general uses of
land within the SRPMIC. It functions as official Community policy on the
allocation and distribution of different land uses. The pattern of land uses is
shown on the Land Use Map by means of various land use designations, each of
which denotes specific types of land use. The boundary lines between land use
designations are shown as precisely as possible, and generally follow property
lines and/or roads. The Community’s Zoning Map implements the General Plan
land use designations by ordinance at a much more detailed, parcel-specific
level and reflects existing development entitlements.
LAND USE DESIGNATIONS
The Land Use Map of this General Plan uses twelve land use designations to
depict the types of land uses that are allowed. Following are brief descriptions of
the intent of each of the land use designations appearing on the Land Use Map.
The Land Use Map (Figure 1-1) designates land within the Community according
to the use designations summarized in Table 1-2.
