CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 15 Map 3B-3 indicates the proposed land use plan of the city, identifying appropriate land uses and densities for each individual neighborhood. This land use map will form the basis for land use and zoning decisions over the next 20 years. Table 3B-3 is a summary of Orono’s Planned Land Use. Note that the Summary reflects that the planned uses are to be allowed to take effect immediately rather than being staged over a period of years, thus the 2030 and 2040 predicted acreages are the same as 2020 levels.
