This section identifies and analyzes issues, opportunities and constraints that affect the future development potential of the county's unincorporated areas. This section also summarizes the issues, opportunities, and constraints pertaining to land use in each of the Area Plan areas, and for the Bridgeport and Lee Vining Airport Land Use Plans (ALUPs). Many of the environmental constraints governing development are addressed in the Conservation/Open Space Element; this section of the Land Use Element summarizes those concerns in light of their relevance to the development of land use policies. Issues pertaining to the Mammoth Lakes Airport Land Use Plan are discussed in detail in those documents.
