Buildable Lands Inventory

Building Division Planning Division

The City of Ashland approved an update to the Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI) on January 21st, 2020.

This technical document, and corresponding BLI map, provides detailed information regarding the amount of buildable lands within the City's urban growth boundary as of July 2019.
