APPENDIX: EXISTING LAND USE AND CHARACTER

An essential activity in the Existing City phase was to complete an inventory of the current land use and development
pattern in Littleton. The large map titled Existing Land Use and Character in Littleton (As of Summer 2018) displays
the inventory results. Please see the Land Use and Community Character section in the Future City portion of the
Comprehensive Plan for more background on and description of the “community character” terminology used on this map
and on the Future Land Use and Character map (e.g., Rural, Estate, Suburban, Auto Urban – or Auto Oriented, Urban,
and Mixed Character).
