What are growth management factors? As we use the term, these are physical and cultural
features on the land that modify, limit or restrict development. They include features
that preclude development, as well as those that require mitigating measures before
development. For example, an existing park cannot be developed whereas steeply sloped
land could be developed with proper aesthetic and erosion-control measures.
Potential Uses:
- identify existing land use patterns
- evaluate potential environmental threats
- establish priorities for land purchase or protection
- guide future growth patterns
