<br /> Orono's land use plan accommodates all planned population growth in a
<br /> wide variety of housing opportunities. The forecast population increase of
<br /> approximately �98�2000 persons in the next twenty years translates into a
<br /> housing demand of approximately �-800 new dwelling units. This average of
<br /> ?�-3840 new dwellings per year is consistent with or slightly below Orono's rate
<br /> of actual new residence building permit issuance during the past two decades.
<br /> Based on the Land Use Plan, approximately two-thirds of these new units are
<br /> expected to develop in the urban area.
<br /> The Metropolitan Council's 2030 Regional Development Framework
<br /> adopted in January 2004 and the Minnesota Livable Communities Act
<br /> emphasizes the need for a wide range of housing alternatives and locations
<br /> such as that afforded by Orono's differing urban and rural neighborhoods.
<br /> The location of housing alternatives is directly related to the opportunities and
<br /> services enjoyed by residents of the Metropolitan Area. Location influences not
<br /> only access to employment, but also the availability of neighborhood parks and
<br /> recreational programs, libraries, health care facilities, day care centers, and
<br /> access to major retail centers, highways, and public transit.
