	ERS/USDA Data - Major Uses of Land, 1945-97
		Major Uses of Land in the United States, 1997—As the latest in the Major Land Use series, which started in 1945, this report summarizes cropland, forest, pasture and range, and miscellaneous and special uses such as urban, recreational, and parkland.
		CROPLAND—Total cropland: cropland used for crops, cropland idled, and cropland used for pasture.
		croppast—Cropland used for pasture: land rotated between crop and pasture use or marginal cropland indefinitely used as pasture.

	ERS/USDA Briefing Room - Land Use, Value, and Management: Major Uses of Land
		The ERS report Major Uses of Land in the United States, 1997, shows that major land uses have changed little, in percentage terms, from 1992, for the 48 contiguous States (data are available in the report for Alaska and Hawaii, but not discussed here).
		The amount of land converted to urban use rose steadily from 15 million acres in 1945 to an estimated 66 million acres in 1997.
		The decrease in cropland used for crops reflects lower harvested acres of wheat and, to a lesser degree, sorghum, barley, oats, and cotton.

	Cropland Converted to Other Land Uses, 1982 - 1992 \| Analysis Products \| State of the Land \| NRCS
		Cultivated cropland comprises land in row crops or close-grown crops and also other cultivated cropland, for example, hayland or pastureland that is in a rotation with row or close-grown crops.
		Land use is the purpose of human activity on the land; it is usually but not always related to the land cover.
		A Land cover/use category on which the climax or potential plant cover is composed principally of native grasses, grasslike plants, forbs or shrubs suitable for grazing and browsing, and introduced forage species that are managed like rangeland.

	EPA: Guide: Major Uses of Land in the United States
		Agricultural land uses include: cropland; grazing lands (cropland pasture and permanent pasture and range); grazed forest land; and miscellaneous agricultural uses (farmsteads, farm roads, and farm lanes).
		Special land uses include: forest land not grazed; intensive uses (highways and roads, railroads, and airports); and extensive uses (national parks, state parks, wilderness areas, federal wildlife areas, state wildlife areas, national defense areas, and federal industrial facilities).
		Because land use data are obtained through efforts that typically differ in purpose, methods, definitions, frequency, and reliability, conflicts and overlaps resulting from combining the data must be reconciled or removed.

	Land Uses Issues (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Land use planning implies an orderly process by which the use of land within a municipality, a county, or some other jurisdiction is regulated.
		To be effective, land use planning should be based upon a comprehensive plan, which we have defined as long-term studies of the jurisdiction, considering broad social, economic, environmental, and political issues.
		The land use controls (e.g., zoning, subdivision regulations, etc.) are the legal mechanisms by which the patterns of human growth and activities are directed.

	Land Use Controls (LUCs) - FAQs
		Land use controls (LUCs), also known as "institutional controls," are administrative or legal mechanisms used to protect public health and the environment from residual contamination at Superfund sites, military bases, or other contaminated properties or former brownfields.
		LUCs are used at brownfields to prevent human exposure to residual contamination in the soil or water.
		Private controls are often referred to as proprietary controls because they use traditional property law devices, such as deed restrictions, restrictive covenants, and easements to restrict land use.

	The Environmental Literacy Council - Land (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Land is the solid part of the Earth’s surface, which is also known as the lithosphere.
		Land use is distinguished from land cover, though the use to which land is put is often either a cause or an effect of its cover.
		Land use is just what it sounds like: the use to which people put land, such as for farming, or cities, or harvesting timber.

	Modern uses of land by the chiefs.
		This implied long-term alienation of land and altered patterns of land use in the subsistence communities.
		With the enactment of the 1974 Land Ordinances, and as a consequence of local politics, the Fulani graziers were persuaded not to pay this tribute.
		In response to this encroachment, the chiefs and their notables have been formulating new strategies such as to share family land among family members, unmindful of the fact that land belongs to a vast community, many of whom are dead, few are living, and many are still unborn.

		Estimates of major land uses which appear in the 1992 Major Land Uses report are the latest in a series of the land use inventories based on available statistics conducted by the Economic Research Service (ERS) and its predecessor agencies within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
		Forest land includes transition zones, such as areas between heavily forested and nonforested lands that are at least 10 percent stocked with forest trees and forest areas adjacent to urban and built-uplands.
		The forested areas excluded from forest use land totaled 31 million acres in 1969, 30 million acres in 1974, 33 million acres in 1978, 66 million acres in 1982, 83 million acres in 1987 and 89 million acres in 1992.

		Some land uses, such as gas stations or sewage treatment plants, need special care in choosing their location to make sure they "fit" well into a neighborhood.
		Neighbors may disagree about which land uses belong in their neighborhood and which may be harmful.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mortmain
		Of land directly acquired from the king, the person to whom the grant or feoffment was made, the feoffee, held as tenant in capite of the Crown.
		Therefore all persons possessed of land "to the use of religious people or other spiritual persons", of which these latter take the profits, are required upon pain of forfeiture to procure licence of amortization within a time limited, or to "sell and aliene" to some other use.
		The expressions quoted from Lord Bacon, and an allusion of his to "plenty and purchasing", suggest the view that holding of land in mortmain, being opposed to land stirring abroad and its ready purchase, was in the nature of a public inconvenience or mischief.

		Office land uses in the County are typically found as freestanding developments along the major roads, in the central business districts of the cities, or in shopping centers.
		Commercial uses should be located in areas that are well served by the transportation network and should be designed to have minimal negative impact on adjacent, lower intensity land uses.
		Commercial uses serving the rural farm population should be encouraged to locate where possible near the intersections of a county collector road with a highway, or near the intersection of two county collector roads.

		General retail uses are establishments engaged in selling merchandise to the general public for personal or household consumption; processing of products does not occur or is only a minor part of use (for example; restaurants, butcher shops, breweries with taverns, art studios, etc.).
		Except, General Service uses may occupy existing single-family structures provided: 1) On-site parking is not located in the front yard; 2) Substandard curb, gutter, sidewalks, and street trees are improved to current City standards; and 3) The exterior of the structure and landscaping maintains a single-family character.

		The most likely permitted land uses which would occur in a mixed urban land use district would be churches, schools, and daycare centers.
		However, the council indicated it did not wish to extend the assessment policy to for-profit land uses such as day care centers or other potential land uses allowed by special use permits.
