CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan <br /> structures <br /> 4. Urban Large Lot Estates (0.125-0.5 units per acre) <br /> The is intended for areas that have developed in a land use pattern of large lots in environmentally <br /> sensitive areas around the lake. These lots have access or sanitary sewer services. These lots are <br /> impactful to lake water quality and lake characters. Theses lots are directly abutting lakeshore and <br /> would benefit the overall environment by ensuring their connection to sewer and retaining the large <br /> open space and green cover within the sensitive areas. Residential dwellings units will be provided as <br /> single family detached structures. <br /> 5. Urban Estate 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 /> 6. Urban Low Residential(3-8 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 /> 7. Urban Medium /Mixed Use Residential (8-15 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.
