What does this data set describe?

Title: York County Proposed Landuse for 2025
Abstract:
The Land Use element is perhaps the element of the Comprehensive Plan with which citizens are most familiar. It describes the distribution of existing land uses and the potential for future development and also identifies the policies that will guide the arrangement and intensity of future additions or changes to existing land use patterns. While residential densities and use characteristics are generally described in the Land Use element, specific standards, such as minimum lot sizes and permitted uses, are set forth in the County's Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map. Traditionally, the term land use has been fairly narrowly construed to encompass the basic category of use - i.e., residential, commercial, or industrial - that describes how land is or will be developed. More appropriate, however, is a broader definition encompassing not just the type of use but how it will be designed and what it will look like.
Supplemental_Information:
The following land use designations have been used in developing the Land Use element and the Land Use maps. Although general in nature, these designations will provide guidance for any changes to the more specific zoning regulations and zoning district locations and boundaries that implement the Comprehensive Plan. It must be clearly recognized that development in accordance with these designations, as they apply to a specific area, may be appropriate not at this time but only after certain improvements and infrastructure are completed. Since some of these improvements may require public investment, the appropriate timing for development will be closely related to capital improvements programming by the County and state.
