CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan <br /> SCOPE <br /> The time framework of the Land Use Plan is intended to be consistent with <br /> the regional planning period of 389 2008 throu�h 2030 and <br /> with the City's permanent planning policy for rural Orono. The goals, <br /> � policies and land use plans contained in this Chapter are set in the context of the <br /> legislatively mandated Metropolitan Land Planning Act which was amended in <br /> 1995 to include a requirement for decennial review of local plans to ensure that <br /> local fiscal devices and local controls are consistent with the plan, and to respond <br /> to recent changes in the regional system plans. This is particularly relevant to the <br /> urbanized sections of the City. The goals, plans and programs for rural Orono, <br /> however, are established because of the environmental sensitivity of the area and <br /> because of the rural citizen's desire for a permanent rural community. <br /> Orono's long range land use plans call for permanent maintenance of the existing <br /> low density rural residential areas. There is to be no staged growth plan and no <br /> expansion of the existing urban service area beyond the revisions encompassed in <br /> this �898-�8?8 2008-2030 Plan. Consequently, Orono's rural land use plans and <br /> the location of the boundary between Orono's Urban and Rural Areas as shown on <br /> Map 3B-1 are intended to be permanently applicable beyond the arbitrary <br /> planning date of �8 2030. This commitment is particularly important to the <br /> many Orono citizens who are making private investments based upon this concept <br /> and who are entitled to know that they can rely on this Plan. <br /> City of Orono CommuniTy Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-3 <br />
