CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan <br /> 5. Urban Medium Residential (3-10 units per acre) <br /> This higher density will be reserved for properties deemed by the City Council to be so uniquely <br /> situated that residential development at the prescribed density will not negatively impact surrounding <br /> land uses. Such properties must have municipal sewer and water available. Other factors that will be <br /> taken into consideration in determining the appropriate locations for this density will include proximity <br /> to and the need for other urban utilities and services in relation to the proposed use; transportation <br /> system impacts and site access; and the ability of the proposed use to meet City housing goals. <br /> 6. Urban Medium High/Mixed Use Residential (10-20 units per acre) <br /> This land use designation is reserved for specific sites,which based on their proximity to services and <br /> transportation corridors are deemed appropriate for higher density projects. <br /> The Mixed Use Residential and Commercial designation is intended for established commercial areas <br /> on higher classification transportation routes to introduce an element of higher density residential.This <br /> residential component will serve to augment the commercial uses with a near-by customer base and to <br /> provide an efficient use of land.The properties targeted for Mixed Use classification are in the Navarre <br /> area, including a number of commercially zoned properties abutting Shadywood Road,and additional <br /> commercial and residential properties abutting Shoreline Drive. This Mixed Use designation is <br /> intended to allow for the possibility of higher density multi-family residential development such as <br /> senior and assisted living, townhomes, condominiums or apartment buildings. Under the Mixed Use <br /> designation, properties currently zoned for residential use are not intended to be converted to <br /> commercial property, but existing commercial property could be converted to higher-density <br /> residential use or mixed residential-commercial uses in the same buildings.The City may also consider <br /> new zoning standards to regulate potential mixed-use projects. <br /> The City anticipates mixed use within the context of the neighborhood, and not necessarily specific to <br /> a particular parcel. Where employed, the City can envision ground level commercial services, with <br /> 2nd and 3rd level residential,though that is not the expected universal development pattern. Properties <br /> in Area E of Table 3B-4 and Map 3B-4 are the primary candidates for mixed use development,which <br /> can be both vertical or horizontal. Based on the height limit (30 feet) and the desire for commercial <br /> services to mix with residential, the City anticipates no more than 70% of Area E to convert to <br /> residential uses. <br /> 7. Urban High Density Residential(20-25 units per acre) <br /> This land use designation is reserved for specific sites, which based on their proximity to services and <br /> transportation corridors, are deemed appropriate for higher density projects. Other factors that will be <br /> taken into consideration in determining the appropriate locations for this density will include proximity <br /> to and the need for other urban utilities and services in relation to the proposed use; transportation <br /> system impacts and site access; and the ability of the proposed use to meet City housing goals. <br /> 8. Island Residential(1 unit per 5 acres) <br /> The Island residential is characterized by limited access,utilities,and municipal services for properties <br /> originally developed as seasonal cabins. The Land use category is intended to preserve this land use <br /> without encouraging additional subdivision. <br /> 9. Commercial/Office <br /> Commercial/ Office is the general land use describing 3 sub land use categories: Lakeshore <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 19 <br />
