Urban Designations
The 2030 Merced County General Plan update was adopted by the Merced County Board of Supervisors on December 10, 2013 (12/10/2013).The "Draft" Urban Designations is a new feature class created for the Merced County General Plan update. The "Draft" Urban Designations feature class has seven categories. (Note: As of the adoption date the term "Draft" will no longer apply.)City Planning Area: Includes land located within the adopted sphere of influence of the cities of Atwater, Dos Palos, Gustine, Livingston, Los Banos, and Merced (where there is an adopted sphere of influence agreement). The land use and development within the cities is regulated by each City's general plan and the unincorporated fringe area outside the city limits is governed by the County general Plan and individual sphere of influence or land use agreement.Rural Residential Center: Includes areas in the unincorporated Merced County that contain concentrations of suburban housing, typically on one acre lots that lack full urban services. These area are typically adjacent to or near incorporated cities and do not include commercial use.Rural Centers: includes areas in unincorporated Merced County that are isolated and have either a stable or declining population. These areas contain some commercial uses that support adjacent rural and agricultural uses, such as feed stored, truck/tractor repair, gas stations, and limited public services. (Note: these areas were known under the previous general plan as "Specific Urban Development Plans")Urban Community: Includes areas in the unincorporated Merced County that have a range of housing densities, commercial uses, public sewer and/or water infrastructure, public services, and employment-generating land uses. (Note: these areas were known under the previous general plan as "Specific Urban Development Plans")Highway Interchange Centers: Includes areas in the unincorporated Merced County that are intended to accommodate commercial uses oriented to highway travels. They are topically located at freeway interchanges or intersections of state and interstate highways.Isolated Urban Areas: : Includes isolated areas in unincorporated Merced County which were designated for urban land uses prior to adoption of the "urban centered concept" in the 1978 General Plan Land Use Element. These areas typically contain a cluster of homes on a limited public infrastructure, or an individual commercial or industrial use. No new isolated urban area can be established under the 2030 General Plan.
