2. Land Use Categories and Acreage

The future land use categories and acreages are provided in Table 40. The future
land use map depicts a desired pattern of land uses, which are generally consistent with
the Land Suitability Analysis. The land use categories have been coordinated with
Atlantic Beach’s zoning districts. The zoning districts specify allowable uses for each land
use category. Refer to the Town’s zoning ordinance for specific uses allowed in each
district. The land use categories are intrinsically tied to the policy section of this plan.
