<br /> Orono's land use plan accommodates all planned population growth in a variety of housing
<br /> opportunities. The forecast population increase of approximately 2,000 persons in the next twenty years
<br /> translates into a housing demand of approximately 800 new dwelling units. This average of 40 new
<br /> dwellings per year is consistent with Orono's rate of building permit issuance during the past two decades.
<br /> Based on the Land Use Plan, approximately two-thirds of these new units are expected to develop in the
<br /> urban area.
<br /> Successful development of a wide range of housing alternatives is directly related to the ability to
<br /> obtain the necessary infrastructure and public services. In today's market, aAffordable housing and
<br /> many forms of lifecycle housing are most appropriate only feasible at urban densities where services,
<br /> employment, and transportation are available, without the need for an automobile. In Orono, with urban
<br /> , which require urban infrastructure such as municipal sewer and water, and the wide range of urban
<br /> services not available to in the 80%of Orono that is planned for low-density rural residential development,.
<br /> affordable housing may not be practical.
<br /> New housing alternatives in Orono are anticipated to occur within the existing urban area as well
<br /> as in specified urban area expansions that are detailed in the Land Use Plan. These housing options
<br /> will include a range of housing styles and types at densities of 2 to 250 units per acre. Where feasible,
<br /> affordable housing units will be incorporated within High Density Residential in the Land Use Plan. These
<br /> I designated areas are depicted in the Land Use Plan chapter of the CMPthis Plan.
<br /> Development Density and Housing Goals
<br /> Minnesota Statutes 473.859 Subd. 2(c) states that the content of the land use plan element of
<br /> comprehensive plans shall "include a housing element containing standards, plans and programs
<br /> for providing adequate housing opportunities to meet existing and projected local and regional
<br /> housing needs, including but not limited to the use of official controls and land use planning to
<br /> promote the availability of land for the development of low and moderate income housing."
