h LAND USE JUNE, 1980 11. RURAL LAKESHORE AREAS WILL HAVE DUAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. The low-density residential land uses will automatically reduce environmental pressures on the shoreline . In addition , the rural areas will be subject to the same shoreline protection performance standards as the urban areas , including minimum setbacks , green belts , clear- cutting prohibitions and lake use regulations . Taken together , these factors should preserve to a large extent the original appearance of Orono ' s rural shoreline as seen from the lake . THE LAND USE PLAN MAP NO. 6 INDICATES THE BASIC LAND USE PLAN OF THE CITY: THE DESIGNATION OF ORONO'S URBAN SERVICE AREA AND ORONO' S RURAL SERVICE AREA. The detailed location of the dividing line (the MUSA line) between the Urban Service Area and the Rural Service Area has been established by careful evaluation of each of the elements of this Community Management Plan . Environmental concerns , historic land use patterns , and the availability of sewer , transportation and other public facilities all enter into the local decision of actual MUSA line location . Orono ' s Urban Service Area identifies those portions of the City that have been provided with public services and facilities necessary to support urban types and densities of land use as defined by the Metro- politan Council ' s Development Framework Guide . Orono ' s Rural Service Area identifies those portions of the City that do not have urban services and are not planned to have urban services . Orono' s Rural Service Area is intended to permanently accommodate General Rural Land Uses and housing densities defined by the Metropolitan Council , and as distinctly different from a Commercial Agricultural region. Orono ' s MUSA line location as shown on Map No. 6 has been legally described and established by City Council Resolution No. 1135 adopted April 14 , 1980 . This Resolution is included in the CMP Appendix . The detailed location of this line will not be changed without further official action of the City Council . Orono ' s MUSA line location as shown on Map No. 6 is consistent with the broad-brush location of the MUSA line as drawn by the Metropolitan Council . Orono ' s MUSA line location is consistent with the MUSA location and land use plans of adjoining municipalities. Orono ' s MUSA line location directly affects the detailed land use and facilities plans of the City . MAP NO. 7 INDICATES THE DETAILED LAND USE PLAN OF THE CITY, IDENTIFYING APPROPRIATE LAND USES AND DENSITIES FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL NEIGHBORHOOD. This land use map will form the basis for land use zoning decisions . CMP 4-22
