Such a designation allows <br /> for a mix of high density, medium, and low density uses, as well as <br /> "industrial, industrial-commercial and/or open designations in areas <br /> where new settlements may be desirable, but where the specific <br /> settlement pattern and mix of uses have not yet been determined." <br /> Whether Important Agriculture or Urban Expansion, because the <br /> proposed B&B use of this site will not result in the reduction of any <br /> currently cultivated land with its predominantly residential use, the <br /> requested Special Permit would not be inconsistent with either of <br /> those General Plan LUPAG designations, and no amendments would <br /> be required. <br /> C.

These principles and <br /> their relationship to the proposed B&B follow. <br /> a.
