<br />services, increased police and fire protection, public works projects and public recreational facilities.
<br />These areas have such facilities in place and in sufficient capacity to accommodate all projected urban
<br />development. The rural areas have limited density and have environmental restraints prohibiting urban
<br />density encroachments.
<br />Orono expects future development in both the urban and the rural portions of the city. The urban
<br />area is expected to have new residential infill development on the existing vacant lots and undeveloped
<br />parcels at densities consistent with the Community Management Plan. Additional of higher density
<br />housing is anticipated in the planning term to accommodate a wider range of affordability and lifecycle
<br />housing needs, overall urban density will remain relatively low.
<br />The rural area is expected to have continued infill residential development. Non-residential development
<br />will likely be limited to open space recreation.
<br />Over time, changes in national priorities, population trends, metropolitan plans and metropolitan
<br />facilities have continued to reinforce the planning and development objectives of Orono. Community
<br />leaders have consistently held firm to the quality over quantity in approving development proposals, and
<br />will continue to do so.
<br />The projected population is a direct result of Orono's environmental protection policies and is consistent
<br />with the proposed public facilities plans of Orono, the Hennepin County Public Works Department, the
<br />Minnesota Department of Transportation and Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES).
