CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan <br /> �0, heretofore planned for single family development at rural densities. All <br /> identified properties are located relatively high in the Lake Minnetonka <br /> � watershed, allowing ample opportunity for effective stormwater rnanagement. <br /> : MEDIUM-HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL - 7 to 10 LTNITS PER ACRE <br /> This higher density will be reserved for properties deemed by the City Council <br /> to be so uniquely si�uated that residential development at a density exceeding <br /> 7 units per acre will have no negative impacts on the surrounding land uses. <br /> Such properties must have municipal sewer and water available. Other factors <br /> that will be taken into consideration in determining the appropriate locations <br /> for this density will include proximity to and the need for other urban utilities <br /> and services in relation to the proposed use; transportation system impacts and <br /> site access; and the ability of the proposed use to meet City housing goals. <br /> Sites proposed for this density will be analyzed and reviewed on an individual <br /> basis. Properties proposed for this density shall be outside the Shoreland <br /> � Overlay District. The initial areas targeted for inclusion into this land use <br /> � designation are along Highway 12, near the more intense commercial and <br /> industrial land uses west of Long Lake. <br /> HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL— 10 to 15 UNITS PER ACRE <br /> This land use designation is reserved for specific sites, which based on their <br /> proximity to services and transportation corridors are deemed appropriate for <br /> � higher density projects. <br /> MIXED USE—6 to 15 UNITS PER ACRE <br /> The Mixed Use Residential and Commercial designation is intended for <br /> established commercial areas on higher classification transportation routes to <br /> introduce an element of higher density residentiaL This residential component <br /> will serve to augment the commercial uses with a near-by customer base and <br /> to provide an efficient use of land. The properties targeted for Mixed Use <br /> classification are in the Navarre area, including a number of commercially <br /> zoned properties abutting Shadywood Road, and additional commercial and <br /> residential properties abutting Shoreline Drive, as shown on Map 3B-6b. <br /> This Mixed Use designation is intended to allow for the possibility of higher <br /> density multi-family residential development such as senior assisted living, <br /> townhomes, condominiums or apartment buildings. Under the Mixed Use <br /> designation, properties currently zoned for residential use are not intended to <br /> be converted to commercial property, but existing commercial property could <br /> be converted to higher-density residential use or mixed residential-commercial <br /> uses in the same buildings. The City may also consider new zoning standards <br /> to regulate potential mixed-use projects. <br /> Properties identified for urban densities of 3-7 units per acre or 7-15 units per <br /> � acre, along Highway 12, are detailed in the following tables and maps� which <br /> identify required development parameters. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-32 <br />
