FILE #18-44 May 21, 2018 Page 3 of 4 requirement that parcels located within the expanded area be developed at 3 units per acre or greater. The MUSA boundary is shown on Map 313-4, Development Sites. Land Use. To meet the growth projections of the Metropolitan Council, the Land Use Map was updated. The map (313-3) reflects a revised listing of land use categories. These 10 categories are used throughout the document per Met Council requirements and include 7 residential, 2 commercial/ industrial, and a park/open space land use. Island residential is a new land use and is employed for the residences on Big Island and Deering Island. For the majority of the community, land use did not change. In the Navarre area, residential land uses was removed from the west side of Shadywood in favor of straight commercial uses. The remaining mixed use or high density residential land uses along Shoreline were adjusted from 6-15 units per acre and 7-10 units per acre to 10-20 and 20-25 units per acre. These areas are predominately currently developed and therefore the result of a significant redevelopment project. In the northern portion of the community, residential land uses were introduced to the Kelley Parkway and Wayzata Blvd areas. In order to prevent expansion of the MUSA, and therefore introduction of density in our rural areas, increased opportunity for density had to be added in the Navarre and northern Orono areas. The Committee applied density in areas where they felt it was most appropriate, given transportation networks, neighboring land uses, and services available. Planned Development Sites. As part of our requirement that sites be identified for potential growth in the next 20 years, the Committee updated the Planned Development Suites map, originally developed as part of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Map 313-4 is the revised version and shows 5 areas that could be the subject of development proposals. These 5 areas provide 'growth' in a range of densities, from 2 acre lots (green) to High Density Residential (Yellow). Navarre Area Plan. The Navarre Area Plan, conducted by the Planning Consultant WSB and Associates was incorporated in the Land Use Chapter, 3B and influenced some of the land use in that area. Editing. The Committee worked hard to reduce the length of the document, removing redundant statements, in the hopes of making it more 'readable' while retaining the major policy discussions outlined within. Maps. The maps were updated to reflect new roads and parcels established since the 2008 plan.
