, � <br /> CMP Part 3C Housin�Plan <br /> Orono's housing goals as established in this Housing Plan, for <br /> , . sites not currently guided for such use but which may be appropriate <br /> for such use. � <br /> 3. Ur6an density residential development must occur within the <br /> defined Urban Service Area.Orono's CommunityManagement Plan <br /> _ __ is not a staged growth plan.The Urban Service Area as defined in this <br /> Plan will not be expanded into the defined rural area, and urban <br /> services and facilities will not be extended into the rural area for <br /> �� � � putposes of fostering or allowing increased�development in those � <br /> " � � azeas. � <br /> � 4. Urban density residential development will utilize ezisting or <br /> ;,. ' planned pubIic services and facilities.New residential development <br /> will be allowed to infill existing vacant properties within the Urban , <br /> ' � . Service Area consistent with environmental limitations and with the <br /> � existing or planned capacities of water, sewer, drainage; - . <br /> . transportation and recreational facilities. New development will not <br /> � be permitted to overburden these services at the expense of the <br /> . existing users. New urban development will not be permitted if it <br /> requires additional unplanned local or regional facilities capacity. <br /> 5. The City will promote scattered site development as opposed to � <br /> � large scale tract development within the egisting developed _._ <br /> � urban area. Scattered site development�has less impact on the <br /> , - existing neighborhoods or on the existing public facilities capacities <br /> -- than does a concentration of development at one location. In <br /> � � addition, most of Orono's existing urban neighborhoods aze a <br /> homogenous mix of newer and older homes intermingled with an <br /> � � occasional vacant lot or a lazger, divisible lot. There is no single <br /> � neighborhood which is in need of complete renewal or rehabilitation. <br /> Therefore,there is no need for nor any economical way of assembling <br /> � - a large tract of property for single-project development. <br /> 6. The City will promote rehabilitation of existing older or <br /> substandard homes. Whereas there is no identifiable block of <br /> deteriorated housing in the CiTy, there aze a substantial number of <br /> older homes or converted cottages that are in need of repair, energy <br /> conservation measures,or major rehabilitation.In many cases,these <br /> homes are occupied by low income or fixed income persons who <br /> � . cannot undertake the needed work within their means. Maintaining <br /> existing neighborhoods and existing homes enables maintenance of <br /> af�ordability.Replacement of these homes,even with higher density <br /> development,would result in substantially increased housing prices. <br /> Therefore, the City will promote private and subsidized public <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan Page 3C-22 <br /> September 2000/Revised Septembtr 2001 <br />
