An evaluation of the existing and planned future land use along the corridor has been conducted. The land use assessment process was guided by the land use visions and goals for the study area, identified through coordination with local planners. This effort was a corridor-wide assessment; however, it was mainly focused on the development potential of future transportation nodes (such as intersections or interchanges).

The following factors influencing the likelihood and rate of development near intersections and interchanges were considered when preparing the future land use maps:

• Distance to major urban area or regional center
• Traffic volume on the intersecting road
• Presence of a service road
• Availability of water, sewer and other infrastructure
• Historic development trends and planned projects
• Future land use plans
• Environmental constraints

The assessment was used to evaluate land use compatibility with the proposed long-term and short-term alternatives. Scenarios were developed for the years 2018 and 2035 and compared to the proposed transportation improvements for compatibility. Based on this comparison, recommendations have been developed for changes to land use and zoning plans, growth management areas, and access management. The recommendations are focused on an integrated approach to achieving both mobility and land use/growth management objectives in a consistent manner throughout the corridor. The land use maps and draft assessment are listed below. The final recommendations will be included the US 64 Corridor Study Report upon completion of the study.
