ICE Analysis Training Program Module 4: How to Develop Land Use Information Mapping Land Use Mapping Land Use KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER Be sure to map land use once all available data Be sure to map land use once all available data sources have been collected. Land use mapping sources have been collected. Land use mapping is key for both preparing data for the analysis is key for both preparing data for the analysis methodologies (that will be presented in methodologies (that will be presented in module 5) to help reviewers in seeing areas of module 5) to help reviewers in seeing areas of past, present, and future effects. Only land use past, present, and future effects. Only land use information within the ICE Analysis information within the ICE Analysis geographical boundary should be mapped. geographical boundary should be mapped. 6

ICE Analysis Training Program Module 4: How to Develop Land Use Information Present Land Use Present Land Use KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER The appropriate development size(s) (i.e., The appropriate development size(s) (i.e., subdivisions of a certain number of units, etc.) to subdivisions of a certain number of units, etc.) to be analyzed must be determined on a project-by- be analyzed must be determined on a project-by- project basis. It is not necessary to scour the project basis. It is not necessary to scour the entire ICE Analysis study area for proposed entire ICE Analysis study area for proposed development such as individual residential lots less development such as individual residential lots less than one acre. Be sure to document the rationale than one acre. Be sure to document the rationale for why a particular development size was chosen. for why a particular development size was chosen. 9
