It has been developed to achieve the City's stated goal for Future Land Use. The element has been formulated to maintain an acceptable balance between providing a framework for continued economic growth, and the protection of residential areas and natural resources. In addition it is formulated in such a manner so as to be consistent with and further relevant state and regional goals. The Future Land Use Element establishes future land use categories which provide guidance for the community in the development and redevelopment of residential and non-residential areas. The plan encourages redevelopment through the future use of Floor Area Ratios and flexible land development regulations including mixed-use and office/residential uses. The redevelopment of economically underutilized or blighted areas is also an important component of future economic health. This element focuses strongly on these targeted redevelopment areas through the establishment of policies related to the Major Thoroughfare Mixed -Use (MTMU) future land use and Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), and the periodic evaluation of urban design standards within Unified Land Development Regulations (ULDRs) to ensure that redevelopment will be of the high quality the City desires while offering design flexibility to encourage redevelopment of smaller parcels. The City's exemption from the traditional application of transportation concurrency furthers these goals. In furtherance of the need to protect the environment and natural resources, the City has established an objective and related policies directly related to the implementation of the Conservation Element which deals with a wide range of environmental issues of importance to Casselberry. This includes the creation of a Conservation Future Land Use designation that may be established on properties containing wetland areas, remaining wildlife habitat areas, vegetative communities, and other areas subject to environmental or topographic constraints that might provide habitat for plant and animal species. As CasselbeWs system of lakes is one of its most significant natural assets, policies have been created to minimize further privatization of lakefronts and develop strategies for their protection. Objectives within this element address such issues as urban sprawl, public facilities and services, concurrency, land development regulation, urban design standards, and coordination with other jurisdictions. The element has been organized into two sections, including the Supporting Data & Analysis (A) and Goals, Objectives & Policies (B), in order to create a cohesive document with a direct link between the City's policies and the data on which they are based.
