Continue to minimize urban scatteration and sprawl by encouraging compact growth and <br /> sequential development. <br /> <br />2.

Protect rural land and open space from premature urbanization. <br /> <br />5. When necessary to meet urban needs, utilize the least productive aghcultural lands for <br /> needed expansion. <br /> <br />6. Encourage new and maintain existing rural land uses where productive or beneficial <br /> outside the urban growth boundary. <br /> <br />7. Shape and plan for a compact urban growth form to provide for growth while preserving <br /> the special character of the metropolitan area. <br /> <br />8. Encourage development of suitable vacant, underdeveloped, and redevelopable land <br /> where services are available, thus capitalizing on public expenditures already made for <br /> these services. <br /> <br />9. Protect life and property from natural hazards and natural disasters. <br /> <br />10. Allow smaller outlying communities the opportunity to plan for their own futures without <br /> being engulfed by unlimited outward expansion of the metropolitan area. <br /> <br />11. Identify methods of establishing an urban transition program which will eventually <br /> reduce service delivery inefficiencies by providing for the provision of key urban services <br /> only by cities. <br /> <br />Policies <br /> <br />1. The UGB and sequential development shall continue to be implemented as an essential <br /> means to achieve compact urban growth. The provision of all urban services shall be <br /> concentrated inside the UGB. <br /> <br /> II-C-3 <br /> <br /> <br />
