4.13 COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING AREAS
INTRODUCTION
INTENT
The Comprehensive Planning Areas consist
of large parcels of undeveloped land where
there has been development interest. As shown
on Map 3: Land Use there are three different
comprehensive planning areas:
The intent of this land use area is to ensure that:
a. Area A: the largest CPA is in the
northern portion of the Village and is
located west of Highway 95. Existing
subdivisions in Elk Park are continuing
to 昀椀ll up. Constraints in this area
include steep slopes, wildlife habitat,
and Riparian Areas of smaller creeks
or drainages.
b. Area B is east of Highway 95 located
on hilly terrain that is above the Canyon
Campground. The land borders
the Village’s eastern boundary with
constraints of steep slopes, Riparian
Areas and wildlife habitat.
c. Area C is southeast of Highway 93 and
mainly accessed off Madsen Road.
Constraints include steep slopes and
challenging road and emergency
access.
x Comprehensive plans are created prior to
development in these areas,
x The necessary technical studies are
completed to identify the land is suitable
for its intended purpose, and
x The land use and development pattern
aligns with the vision and principles of this
Plan, including contributing to meeting the
Village’s housing needs.
