The FLUM as Applied to the Little High Neighborhood

The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) shown below is the most recent version (released October 5, 2021) of the changes soon to be voted on by Charlottesville City Council. The Future Land Use Map is the legal and binding document upon which a new and more detailed zoning map will be drawn, so it’s very important to know and understand what’s in it. We encourage ALL neighborhood residents to get involved, regardless of your position on the proposed changes.

The Little High neighborhood has six land use categories applied to it. The descriptions of each of these six categories are taken verbatim from documents provided by  Cville Plans Together.
