To maintain the historic identity and character of the separate urban and rural <br /> neighborhoods. <br /> 3. To provide appropriate places for a variety of local residential,educational, recreational, <br /> industrial and neighborhood commercial activities. <br /> 4. To protect neighborhoods from encroachment of incompatible land uses. <br /> 5. To coordinate Orono's land uses with that of neighboring communities. <br /> 6. To coordinate land uses and developed density with the financial and physical capabilities <br /> of the City. <br /> General Land Use Policies <br /> 1. The boundary between Orono's Urban and Rural Areas is fixed. Orono's Urban Area will not <br /> be strictly defined by the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary or future <br /> expansions of the MUSA boundary but will be fixed by this and the other elements of the <br /> Community Management Plan. Orono's defined Urban and Rural Areas are best described by <br /> the planned development types and densities. • -• - - - - - <br /> per 2 acres is deemed Urban, Orono's Urban and Rural areas are depicted and fixed by Map <br /> 3B-1. <br /> 2. The Metropolitan Urban Service Area(MUSA)will define the areas of Orono where municipal <br /> sewers may be extended. The MUSA will include all parts of Orono's Urban Area and may <br /> include parts of Orono's Rural Area where appropriate. The MUSA boundary in Orono will <br /> define areas where sewer exists or where it may be extended to serve existing or new <br /> development, but will not define the areas where general urban services will be provided, and <br /> it will not strictly define the boundary between higher density and low-density development. <br /> 3. Orono's land use plans will be based upon environmental protection policies. Land use and <br /> development must assure the conservation, protection and preservation of sensitive <br /> environmental resources in accordance with the goals and policies of the Environmental <br /> Protection Plan. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 7 <br />
