and implementation measures related to land tenure. The
following General Plan goals are relevant:
- GOAL
GOV-3: To provide opportunities for the private ownership
of land by maintaining (and expanding when possible) the
amount of privately owned land available in the County.
-
GOAL LU-1: Create opportunities for the reasonable expansion
of communities in a logical and contiguous manner that minimizes
environmental impacts, minimizes public infrastructure and
service costs, and furthers the countywide economic development
goals. Guide high-density population growth to those areas
where services (community water and sewer systems, schools,
commercial centers, etc.) are available or can be created
through new land development, while providing and protecting
open space areas.
-
Goal H-2: To provide adequate sites for residential development.
-
Goal H-3: To encourage the adequate provision of housing
by location, type of unit, and price to meet the existing
