. URBAN RESIDENTIAL-2 to 6 DWELLINGS PER ACRE ' These densities are pzovided for along Highway 12 as sho�vn on the Land Use Plan. Development at these densities will be limited to properties where special conditions such as abutting land use, as well as proximity to L�rban utilifiies and services, would make the parcel appropriate for housing clusters or multi-family � development. Since the areas identified for this higher density development are to some e�:tent limited by environmental constraints, each such development must be analyzed and reviewed on ail individual basis. The properties identi�'ied for ' residential development at densities of 2-6 units per acre include prope��ties guide- planned for such use as a result of Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 2 in 1988, as well as properties heretofore planned for single family developmeut at rural densities. All identified properties are located relatively high in the Lake Minnetonlca watershed, allowing an�.ple opportunity for effective stormwater � management. Tliese propei-ties are detailed in the£ollowing tables and maps. � Part 2. Amendment.
