Resolution No. 7210 <br />CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan <br />structures. <br />4. Urban Estate Lew Residential (0.5-2 units per acre) <br />This is intended for areas that have developed in a land use pattern of lots developed many decades <br />ago smaller than 1 acre, and have access to sanitary sewer services. These lots have a particular impact <br />on lake water quality, and lake character and storm water management, massing, and hardcover <br />controls are critical to the retention of this character. Residential dwelling units will be provided as <br />single family detached structures. <br />Urban Low Media Residential (3- 8 4-0 units per acre) <br />This higher density will be reserved for properties deemed by the City Council to be so uniquely <br />situated that residential development at the prescribed density will not negatively impact surrounding <br />land uses. Such properties must have municipal sewer and water available. Other factors that will be <br />taken into consideration in determining the appropriate locations for this density will include proximity <br />to and the need for other urban utilities and services in relation to the proposed use; transportation <br />system impacts and site access; and the ability of the proposed use to meet City housing goals. <br />Residential dwelling units will be provided as single and two family structures. <br />6. Urban Medium H4gh/ Mixed Use Residential ( 8-1510-20 units per acre) <br />This land use designation is reserved for specific sites, which based on their proximity to services and <br />transportation corridors are deemed appropriate for higher density projects. <br />The Mixed Use Residential designation is intended for established commercial areas on higher <br />classification transportation routes to introduce an element of higher density residential. This <br />residential component will serve to augment the commercial uses with a near -by customer base and to <br />provide an efficient use of land. The properties targeted for Mixed Use classification are in the Navarre <br />area, including a number of commercially zoned properties abutting Shadywood Road, and additional <br />commercial and residential properties abutting Shoreline Drive. This Mixed Use designation is <br />intended to allow for the possibility of higher density multi -family residential development such as <br />senior and assisted living, townhomes, condominiums or apartment buildings. Under the Mixed Use <br />designation, properties currently zoned for residential use are not intended to be converted to <br />commercial property, but existing commercial property could be converted to higher -density <br />residential use or mixed residential -commercial uses in the same buildings. The City may also consider <br />new zoning standards to regulate potential mixed-use projects. <br />The Metropolitan Council requires that communities provide a measurement of forecasted <br />employment. Acceptable measures include floor area ratios, building footprint percentages or <br />impervious surface percentages. The City anticipates mixed use within the context of the <br />neighborhood, and not necessarily specific to a particular parcel. Where employed, the City can <br />envision ground level commercial services, with 2nd and 3rd level residential, though that is not the <br />expected universal development pattern. The employment and service centers in Orono are very <br />suburban in nature, equating to low Floor Area Ratios (FAR). The City anticipates development and <br />redevelopment of its employment and service centers to continue that development pattern, given the <br />City's goals toward open space, stormwater management, and relatively modest building scale. The <br />City anticipates its commercial and mixed use areas to be driven by retail and service industries, with <br />a corresponding FAR between 0.2 and 0.35. <br />Properties in Area E of Table 3B-4 and Map 3B-4 are the primary candidates for mixed use <br />City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 15 <br />
