developments along highways, transportation, power and commercial facilities, and
areas such as those occupied by mills, shopping centers, industrial and commercial
complexes, and inst itutions t hat may, in some instances, be isolated from urban
areas.
As development progresses, land having less intensive or nonconforming use may
be located in the midst of Urban or Built-up oreas and will generally be included in
this category. Agricultural land, forest, wetland, or water areas on the fringe of
Urban or Built-up areas will not be included except where they are surrounded and
dominated by urban development. The Urban or Built-up category takes precedence
over others when the criteria for more than one category are met. For example,
residential areas that have sufficient tree cover to meet Forest Land criteria will be
placed in the Residential category.
II. Residential
Residential land uses range from high density, represented by the multiple-unit
structures of urban cores, To low density, where houses are on lots of more than an
acre, on the periphery of urban expansion. Linear residential developments along

residential appendages to urban centers, but care must be taken to distinguish them
from commercial strips in the some locality. The residential strips generally have
a uniform size and spacing of structures, linear driveways, and lawn oreas; The
commercial strips are more likely to have buildings of different sizes and spacing,
large driveways, and parking areas. Residential development along shorelines is also
linear and sometimes extends back only one residential parcel from the shoreline to
the first road.
Areas of sparse residential land use, such as farmsteads, will be included in
categories to which they are related unless an appropriate cam pilation scale is being
used to indicate such uses separately. Rural residential and recreational subdivisions,
hov,~ever, are included in this category, since the land is almost totally committed to
residential use, even though it may have forest or range types of cover. In some
places the boundary will be clear where new housing developments abut against
intensively used agricultural areas, but the boundary may be vague and difficult to
discern when residential development occurs in small isolated units over an area of
mixed or less intensive uses. A careful evaluation of density and the overall relation
of The area To The Total urban complex m usT be made.
