Comparison <strong>of</strong> Existing Land Uses and <strong>General</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> Designations<br />

Areas where the existing land uses differ from the <strong>General</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> are described below. Due<br />

inconsistencies. Some parcels within the designated single-family residential areas are<br />

currently developed with higher-density residential land uses, and vice versa. Residential<br />

areas are also found encroaching into commercially- and industrially-designated areas.<br />
