No land owner should be denied the right to develop his land by any staged growth, land <br /> banking or no-growth policy, provided the development can be accomplished within the <br /> performance standards,policies and requirements of the Community Management Plan. <br /> 13. Future development must enhance the community. Land development should respect preserve <br /> the value of the land and the integrity, stability and beauty of the community. <br /> 14. Physical improvements required to accommodate new development must be provided by the <br /> developer. It is the policy of the City that development pays for itself, physical improvements <br /> such as roads, drainage and utilities required to accommodate new subdivisions or <br /> development should be designed, financed and installed directly by the benefited developer as <br /> a precondition to development In addition, this philosophy includes developer responsibility <br /> for special fire protection equipment or devices in the case of unusual land uses or building <br /> configurations, and/or special security services in the case of unusual public safety situations. <br /> 15. All physical improvements must conform to city standards. Physical improvements related to <br /> health, safety or community systems such as roads, pathways, drainage or utility systems will <br /> be designed, located and constructed to uniform, City-established standards to ensure proper <br /> functioning and compatibility with overall City plans. <br /> 16. Developers must dedicate lands required for public use. Land subdivision or any development <br /> that results in increased land use density, and hence increased demand for municipal services, <br /> will be expected to include public dedication of lands necessary for additional road rights of <br /> way,parks,playgrounds,trails, open space,ponds or storm water holding areas whenever such <br /> facilities are directly used by the subdivided land or required by such density increase. If the <br /> individual development's property is not conducive to public land dedication, then in lieu of <br /> lands the developer may be required to contribute funds for the municipal purchase of such <br /> lands or the improvement of such facilities proportionate to the cumulative effect of such <br /> density increase from multiple small developments. <br /> 17.No land will be permitted to be subdivided or built upon which is held unsuitable by the City <br /> for the proposed use because of flood hazards,inadequate drainage,soil formations with severe <br /> limitations for development, severe erosion potential, unfavorable topography, inadequate <br /> water supply or sewage disposal capabilities, or any other feature likely to be harmful to the <br /> health, safety, or welfare of the future residents of the proposed subdivision or of the <br /> community. <br /> Urban Land Use Policies <br /> 1.
