ANALYSIS - PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD-138) Land Use and Density Land use and density are governed by both the General Plan and the HVSP. General Plan The General Plan Land Use Map designates the project site as Low Density Residential, allowing one unit per 1.5 gross acres in the Happy Valley area when the project is developed in conjunction with major dedication of open-space land or agricultural/open space easements to the City.
