Updated every 10 years, this <br /> document is the City's guidebook for all land use decisions, and it details the community's intent <br /> for all facets of City functions and facilities. The CMP includes chapters regarding Community <br /> Philosophy; Parks, Trails and Open Space; Transportation; Sewer and Water Systems; <br /> Environmental Protection; Housing; Land Use; and Public Services. While the 2010-2030 CMP <br /> is essentially a re-affirmation of Orono's long-standing philosophy of land use policies for <br /> preserving Lake Minnetonka and our natural environment, there are minor changes proposed <br /> for a small number of properties. <br /> You are receiving this individual notice because your property is proposed to be re-guided for <br /> higher density residential uses, or is within 350' of such a property. This re-guiding is in <br /> response to Metropolitan Council requirements for providing suitable areas in each community <br /> for workforce and lifecycle housing options. <br /> In the Navarre area, a number of commercially zoned properties abutting Shadywood Road, <br /> and additional commercial and residential properties abutting Shoreline Drive, are proposed to <br /> be re-guided as "Mixed Use". The Mixed Use designation would allow for the possibility of <br /> higher density multi-family residential development such as senior assisted living, townhomes, <br /> condominiums or apartment buildings. Actual development of such uses on any given property <br /> would not occur until a developer applies for and successfully completes a formal rezoning <br /> process during which there would be ample opportunities for public input. Under the Mixed Use <br /> designation, properties currently guided & zoned for residential use are not intended to be <br /> converted to commercial property, but some existing commercial property could be converted to <br /> higher-density residential use or mixed residential-commercial uses in the same buildings. The <br /> City may also consider new zoning standards to regulate potential mixed-use projects through a <br /> future, separate public hearing process. <br /> In northern Orono, a few selected residential properties abutting new Highway 12 have also <br /> been identified for re-guiding to allow increased residential density. The attached maps indicate <br /> the properties in Navarre and along Highway 12 that are proposed to be re-guided. <br /> We encourage you to attend the Open House and Public Hearing to review what Orono has <br /> planned for the next two decades. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Asst. City <br /> Administrator Mike Gaffron at 952-249-4622 (mgaffron@ci.orono.mn.us). <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
