Land use

Land use means specific uses or management-related activities, rather than the vegetation or cover of the land. Land uses may be identified in combination when joint or seasonal uses occur. Each land use category includes land used for facilities that support the land use. For purposes of this chapter, the following land use categories apply:
(1) Cropland. Land used for the production of crops for harvest, either alone or in rotation with grasses and legumes. Crops include row crops, small grains, hay, commercial nursery plantings, vegetables, fruits, nuts, crops, and other plants typically cultivated for commercial purposes in fields, orchards, vineyards, and similar settings.
(2) Pastureland or land occasionally cut for hay. Land used primarily for the long-term production of adapted, domesticated forage plants to be grazed by livestock or occasionally cut and cured for livestock feed.
(3) Grazing land. Land used for grasslands and forest lands where the indigenous vegetation is actively managed for grazing, browsing, or occasional hay production.
(4) Forestry. Land used or managed for the long-term production of wood, wood fiber, or wood-derived products.
(5) Residential. Land used for single-and multiple-family housing, mobile home parks, or other residential lodgings.
(6) Industrial/Commercial. Land used for -
(i) Extraction or transformation of materials for fabrication of products, wholesaling of products, or long-term storage of products. This includes all heavy and light manufacturing facilities.
(ii) Retail or trade of goods or services, including hotels, motels, stores, restaurants, and other commercial establishments.
(7) Recreation. Land used for public or private leisure-time activities, including developed recreation facilities such as parks, camps, and amusement areas, as well as areas for less intensive uses such as hiking, canoeing, and other undeveloped recreational uses.
(8) Fish and wildlife habitat. Land dedicated wholly or partially to the production, protection, or management of species of fish or wildlife.
(9) Developed water resources. Land used for storing water for beneficial uses, such as stock ponds, irrigation, fire protection, flood control, and water supply.
(10) Undeveloped land or no current use or land management. Land that is undeveloped or, if previously developed, land that has been allowed to return naturally to an undeveloped state or has been allowed to return to forest through natural succession.
