The goals,policies and proposed housing programs contained in this Chapter are set <br /> in the context of the legislative mandate to plan for regional needs through the year 2040. In addition,the <br /> housing programs also reflect Orono's plans for permanent maintenance of the low density rural residential <br /> community. •- - . -, -• 9 . • .. . .. • •- - . . - . .-- •- _ - -• - - - --of both the urban and rural areas of Orono. <br /> Housing Goals <br /> 1.

To improve the housing conditions of persons residing in substandard housing. <br /> 4. To provide safe, healthful, and blight-free residences and neighborhoods. <br /> 5. To provide immediately beneficial housing programs for the greatest number of Orono <br /> residents with affordable housing needs. <br /> Urban Housing Policies <br /> 1. The residential areas of urban Orono are primarily suitable for single family <br /> development. Because of historic development patterns, most of Orono's urbanized <br /> neighborhoods are located along the Lake Minnetonka shoreline, or within 1,000 feet of the <br /> shoreline. These lands are environmentally sensitive to overuse or over development such as <br /> typically occurs with large scale developments. Urban residential development in a limited <br /> number of areas further from the shoreline at a density of 2-258 units per acre is compatible <br /> with Orono's environmental policies of limited hardcover and maximum retention of natural <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3C, Page 13 <br />
