! <br /> CMP Part 3C. Housina Plan <br /> HOZISING GOALS AND POLICIES <br /> Orono's Housing Action Plan is based upon the following Goals and Policies <br /> which are designed to be consistent with our regional housing responsibilities <br /> and with the Goals, Policies and Plans of the other elements of the Community <br /> Management Plan. <br /> Housin� Goals <br /> 1. To improve the housing conditions of persons residing in <br /> substandard housing. <br /> 2. To provide safe, bealthful, and blight-free residences and <br /> neighborhoods. <br /> 3. To provide opportunities for a mix of housing types, locations, and <br /> cost ranges which will meet the needs and provide adequate housing <br /> for a broader range of ages, family groups, lifestyle needs and levels <br /> of income to the greatest extent practical. <br /> 4. To provide housing types and residential densities consistent with <br /> environmental and land use plans and with the availability of public <br /> services and facilities. <br /> 5. To provide immediately beneficial housing programs for the greatest <br /> number of Orono residents with affordable housing needs. <br /> Urban Housina Policies <br /> 1. The residential areas of urban Orono are primarily suitable for <br /> single family development. Because of historic development patterns, <br /> most of Orono's urbanized neighborhoods are located along the Lake <br /> Minnetonka shoreline, or within 1,000 feet of the shoreline. These lands <br /> are environmentally sensitive to overuse or over development such as <br /> typically occurs with large scale developments. Urban residential <br /> development in a limited number of areas further from the shoreline at a <br /> � density of 2-6-15 units per acre is compatible with Orono's environmental <br /> policies of limited hardcover and maximum retention of natural open <br /> space and vegetation to protect Lake Minnetonka. <br /> 2. A wider range of housing types will be provided by planned <br /> residential developments. A limited amount of land is available within <br /> the Urban Service Area for planned developments of attached <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3G2� <br />
