-�__,_� � <br /> CMP Part 3C. Housin Plan <br /> ♦ <br /> l. Develop and imp t comprehensive 1 at provide land <br /> appropriate for a variety of af or a e an ife-cycle housing options; <br /> 2. Adopt local housing goals and implementation plans; <br /> 3. Use local official controls and resources to facilitate development of a <br /> range of housing densities, types and costs; and <br /> 4. Approve and permit proposed housing developments in light of <br /> population forecasts, existing housing stock, and current and future <br /> community and regional needs, as appropriate. <br /> Each local community is required to address how it will plan for its share of <br /> regional affordable housing needs for the decade 2011-2020. Metropolitan <br /> Council has apportioned the forecasted need among each of the municipalities in <br /> the 7-county metro area. Minnesota Statutes require that comprehensive plans <br /> include an implementation program that describes public programs, fiscal <br /> devices and other specific actions to be undertaken in stated sequence to <br /> implement the comprehensive plan and ensure conformity with metropolitan <br /> system plans. One required element of the implementation program is a housing <br /> implementation program, "...including official controls to implement the <br /> housing element of the land use plan, which will provide sufficient existing and <br /> new housing to meet the local unit's share of the metropolitan area need for low <br /> and modera�e income housing." Orono's share is forecasted at 311 new <br /> affordable housing units for the decade 2011-2020. <br /> To accomodate Orono's share of new affordable housin� units the Land Use <br /> Plan has desi�nated 102 net acres for development at 6 units per acre or higher <br /> All of this land is desi�nated for development immediatel� <br /> This Housing Plan is an indication of the ongoing policies and concerns of <br /> Orono residents toward solving our own housing problems while taking <br /> considered and appropriate measures to address regional growth concerns. This <br /> Plan is a refinement and restatement of the planning direction established in the <br /> 1974 Orono Village Comprehensive Guide Plan, and the 1980 and 2000-2020 <br /> Orono Community Management Plans, and is prepared and presented for the <br /> following purposes: <br /> 1. The Housing Plan is intended to provide a review of Orono's existing <br /> housing stock. As an older outlying municipality on the developing <br /> fringe of the Metro area, especially one with miles of desirable lakeshore, <br /> it is easy to forget or to overlook the true housing situation in Orono. The <br /> Housing Plan includes a brief review of eXisting housing statistics which <br /> illustrates the variety and diversity of existing housing in Orono. <br /> 2. The Housing Plan is intended to be a management tool for City <br /> officials, City staff and other parties interested in improving the <br /> condition of Orono's available housing supply. The Plan includes <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3C-3 <br />
