CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan + <br /> URBAN LAND USE <br /> URBAN RESIDENTIAL LAND USE <br /> Urban residential development will retain the basic single family character of the <br /> community but will also provide for a wider range of housing types at generally <br /> low densities consistent with available services, the natural amenities of the land, <br /> and environmental protection. Planning devices such as clustering will permit a <br /> limited amount of multiple dwellings such as patio homes, townhouses and <br /> garden apartments to be located near commercial areas within the overall planned <br /> density of the neighborhood. <br /> Urban residential development requires municipal sanitary sewer, an adequate <br /> transportation system, neighborhood recreational facilities and other typical urban <br /> services. The location of urban residential uses depends to a substantial degree on <br /> the environmental impact on Lake Minnetonka and the protection of the natural <br /> wetlands system for storm water filtration and purification. <br /> All urban residential land within 1,000 feet of Lake Minnetonka will require <br /> special environmental restrictions and lower land use densities in order to assure <br /> shoreline protection and minimal direct storm water runoff pollution. <br /> ��� LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL - 0.5 to 2 LTNITS PER ACRE <br /> � This is the typical urban residential density developed and planried for areas <br /> which are within 1,000 feet of Lake Minnetonka and which have particular <br /> environmental impact on the lake. <br /> LOW-MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL - 2 to 3 LTNITS -PER ACRE � <br /> This is the typical land use density of the historic development in Navarre and <br /> the older residential neighborhoods. Certain other residential areas are planned <br /> for this density where services are available beyond 1,000 feet from the <br /> lakeshore. Municipal water is generally provided to these districts for supply � <br /> ( and fire protection, in addition to the necessary sewer service. � <br /> f <br /> s <br /> MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL - 3 to 7 UNITS PER ACRE � <br /> These densities are provided for along Highway 12 as shown on the Land Use ; <br /> Plan. Development at these densities will be limited to properties where ` <br /> special conditions such as abutting land use, as well as proximity to urban � <br /> utilities and services, would make the parcel appropriate for housing clusters : <br /> or multi-family development. Since the areas identified for this higher density E <br /> development are to some extent limited by environmental constraints, each ( <br /> such development must be analyzed and reviewed on an individual basis. The R <br /> properties identified for residential development at densities of 3-7 units per <br /> acre include properties guide-planned for such use as a result of <br /> Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 2 in 1988, as well as properties <br /> � <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-31 <br />
