It sets the community's vision and values in motion, serving as the central organizing element for the 2050 General Plan and directing the placement and character of future development - where people live, work, shop, play, and socialize. The element designates the general distribution, location, and extent, including standards for population density and building intensity, of uses of land for housing, businesses, industry, agriculture, open space and recreation, public facilities, solid and liquid waste, and other public and private uses.
