CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 23  Consider the formation of a Navarre Business Association. Tear Downs  Review development standards applicable to single-family homes in Navarre. Review to ensure that adequate controls are in place to ensure that new development is compatible with the existing character and scale of the neighborhood, while still encouraging the redevelopment of blighted properties. Such standards could include requirements for floor area ratio, height, hardcover, architectural materials, landscaping, and accessory structures.  Proactively address blighted properties through the City’s code enforcement process so that existing homes are well maintained. Consider revisions to the City’s code enforcement process or adopting fines if non-compliance is an issue.  Review its demolition and construction regulations. If the regulation updates require addition administration and monitoring by City staff, consideration should be given to increasing the demolition permit fee commensurate with the addition staffing demand. WHATS CHANGED This update of the Comprehensive Plan introduces higher residential density along Kelley Parkway and Wayzata Boulevard, lowers density for the properties adjacent to the fire station on Willow, removes residential mixed use density along Shadywood, and introduces additional properties to potential mixed use development/ redevelopment along Shoreline in Navarre. These changes are all reflected on maps 3B-3a and 3B-3b. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT/ STAGED DEVELOPMENT The City does not intend to establish a staged growth plan, limiting a property owner from the use of their land, provided the development can be accomplished within the performance standards, policies and requirements of the Community Management Plan. The City anticipates its growth to occur in the same manner has been employed over the last three decades. The majority of subdivision based growth will occur via the splitting of larger lots into subdivisions of less than 6 new building sites. Small areas of the community are conducive to higher density. These projects have served to accommodate our aging community, and provide additional housing and neighborhood options not prevalent in Orono. The City’s new residential growth within the MUSA area is expected in one of 5 primary areas, depicted on Map 3B-4 Planned Development areas, and summarized in Table 3B-4, Predicted Growth in Sewered Areas. The table predicts growth over the next 2 decades and identifies the MUSA part and the Traffic Analysis Zone impacted. Assuming development at the minimum range, the city will meet its household growth projection for 2030 and 2040. The city also maintains opportunity for property owners to provide housing to meet affordability goals. The Net Density for the sewered areas of Orono identified in Table 3B-4, is summarized for clarity on Table 3B-5. The 891 units planned to be served by sanitary sewer services over the next 20 plus years yields a net density of 4.16 units per acre.
