The urban <br /> areas of Orono have sufficient density to require, and to financially support, municipal sewer and water <br /> services, increased police and fire protection, public works projects and public recreational facilities. <br /> These areas have such facilities in place and in sufficient capacity to accommodate all projected urban <br /> development. The rural areas have limited density and have environmental restraints prohibiting urban <br /> density encroachments. <br /> Orono expects future development in both the urban and the rural portions of the city. The urban <br /> area is expected to have new residential infill development on the existing vacant lots and undeveloped <br /> parcels at densities consistent with the Community Management Plan. Additional of higher density <br /> housing is anticipated in the planning term to accommodate a wider range of affordability and lifecycle <br /> housing needs, overall urban density will remain relatively low. <br /> The rural area is expected to have continued infill residential development. Non-residential development <br /> will likely be limited to open space recreation. <br /> Over time, changes in national priorities, population trends, metropolitan plans and metropolitan <br /> facilities have continued to reinforce the planning and development objectives of Orono.
