Existing Land Use Map Understanding how land use and physical development are configured today is essential to addressing important issues within Morrisville and guiding how properties are planned, designed, developed, and utilized in the future. A comprehensive review of existing land use was completed, informed by extensive field reconnaissance of the entire community, as well as research and data analysis. Every parcel within Morrisville was considered and categorized into one of 14 land use categories.
