What is a comprehensive or Future Land Use Plan (FLUP)?
A comprehensive or Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) is a long-range plan that focuses on land use in a community. The FLUP may also specify guidelines for transportation, utilities, recreation, and public services. The FLUP provides a legal basis for all land development regulation. One of its basic building blocks is the Future Land Use Map, which designates the location and maximum intensity of future development.
