This update will include new goals and policy language and minor corrections to the future land use and zoning maps. A request by City of Lacey to consolidate Low Density Residential (LD 0-4) and (LD 3-6) into one zoning designation of Low Density 0-6 (LD 0-6) is included in this update, and a request for UGA boundary expansion, as well as three citizen-requested zoning amendments.
