6. Revisions by CDP Section: ""' " ^ction 3: Preferred Land Use & Settlement Patterns Policy 1: With the adoption of the Hdmdkua CDP, Figures 2-13, are adopted as the Land Use Guide Map for the Hdmdkua CDP Planning Area. Future land use decisions in the Hdmdkua CDP planning area shall be consistent with the Land Use Guide Map, unless the CDP and the General Plan are in direct conflict, in which case the General Plan shall be controlling. As with the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map, the CDP Land Use Guide Map designates preferred future development patterns by indicating the general location of various land uses in relation to each other.

The revision clarifies what is meant by 'new urban development' and stipulates clearly that land use changes that would create new urban uses outside UGB would not be allowed in SMA. Policy 4: In order to preserve larger lot agricultural lands for productive agricultural use, allow rural development on lands near urban areas where an intermediate land use between residential and productive agricultural areas is consistent with the surrounding uses and rural character.
