t Metropolitan Council Local Planning Handbook 1 Section 3. Land Use Plan <br />• Map previously The inventory map of previously planned land use must show the <br />planned land use location and extent of land previously planned for residential, <br />commercial, industrial, public, parks and open space, institutional <br />and mixed uses, as described in the municipality's last <br />comprehensive plan update. Text and a table associated with this <br />map should describe each of the categories identified on the map <br />and identify the amount of existing acreage. <br />Use Metropolitan <br />Council standard <br />land use categories <br />Mapping resources <br />Regional planning is made more efficient when local municipalities <br />use the Metropolitan Council's standardized land use categories and <br />definitions. Doing so facilitates review of the comprehensive plan and <br />simplifies the compilation of regional land use maps and geographic <br />information system datasets. Nonetheless, municipalities may <br />choose to use their own land use categories and definitions if they <br />prefer to do so. <br />The Metropolitan Council's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) <br />unit provides maps and data about every aspect of the region, <br />including both natural and constructed features. Information is <br />presented through interactive and scalable GIS maps and related <br />sets of data. <br />http://www.metrocouncil.ord/plan <br />ning /LPH /forms.htm <br />The Metropolitan Council's Land <br />Use Categories: <br />http: / /www. metrocouncil.org /plan <br />ning /LPH /LandUseCategories. <br />pdf <br />http://dis.metc.state.mn.us/ <br />http: / /www.datafinder.orq /catalog <br />.asp <br />April 2008 3 -3 <br />
