  • Land Use Element → Land Use 2021-10-12

    Mission Viejo's Land Use Element designates the proposed general distribution, location, and extent of land uses for housing, business, industry, open space, natural resources, recreation, and other public and private uses, establishing a clear land use pattern and standards for future development through text, maps, and diagrams. The element also includes a citywide strategy for planning and managing public facilities, including public services such as law enforcement, fire protection, and civic and cultural facilities, and infrastructure for power, water, sewer, waste, and communication. Because the city is largely built out, the element serves as a guide to help local government ensure continued high levels of service while accommodating modest growth through infill development and reuse of underutilized properties.
