Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan Map 3B-3 indicates the proposed land use plan of the city, identifying appropriate land uses and densities for each individual neighborhood. This land use map will form the basis for land use and zoning decisions over the next 20 years. Table 3B-3 is a summary of Orono's Planned Land Use. Note that the Summary reflects that the planned uses are to be allowed to take effect immediately rather than being staged over a period of years, thus the 2030 and 2040 predicted acreages are the same as 2020 levels.

The land uses identified in Map3B-3a and Map 3B -3b are outlined in greater detail below. 1. Lakes and Open Water Areas within the city boundary of open water. The Lakes and associated watersheds are a significant influence on the quality of life and character of the City. However, since they are not a land use, they are not included in the land use calculations for the city. Open water constitutes approximately 34% of the surface area of the City. 2. Rural Preserve (1 unit per 5 acres) The northwest corner of the City is planned for a lower density of one unit per five acres. This area has been developed to provide large lot and quasi agricultural home sites. The extension of municipal water or sewer is not intended for these areas. Residential dwelling units will be provided as single family detached structures. 3. Rural Residential (1 unit per 2 acres) This is the typical rural residential density developed and planned to be permanently self-supporting. No rural density will be allowed greater than one unit per two acres except for those residences in existing rural housing clusters that were originally developed many decades ago and in most cases have been provided with municipal sewer within the past 3 decades. New rural developments may include housing clustering when environmental and site conditions allow, provided the overall density within the development conforms to these requirements, and provided that all sewage treatment needs can be adequately met within. Residential dwelling units will be provided as single family detached City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 14
