Orono will <br /> continue to actively participate in Community Developrnent Block <br /> Grant and Minnesota Housing Finance Assistance programs designed <br /> � � , to help these citizens meet their very immediate housing needs. <br /> � • • 3.� �Orono will encourage developers to provide a variety of housing <br /> � types and cost ranges. Whenever a multiple family or clustered <br /> housing development is proposed; Orono will actively encourage <br /> , setting aside a reasonable number of units for large families and/or <br /> for low and moderate income families. Orono will participate and � <br /> assist developers in applications for loan guarantees or other suitable <br /> forms of housing subsidy aids which may be available. Orono will <br /> also consider proposals for lifecycle housing options fo� sites which <br /> have not been guided for such use, but where such use may be <br /> appropriate if developed in a manner that is `sensitive to the <br /> surrounding land uses and has the necessary services available. Such , <br /> . areas may include property that is currenfly guided or zoned for more <br /> intense uses such as commercial or industrial, or may include sites <br /> adjacent to existing higher intensity uses. , ' <br /> 4. Housing construction will be subject to uniform state building <br /> code requirements but will not be burdened with unnecessary <br /> ' zoning requirements. Orono does not intend to require arbitrary <br /> � � - minunum dwelling sizes or minimum amenity installations as these <br /> — � artificial standards only drive up the cost of housing while liiniting � <br /> the buyer's freedom of choice. Zoning standazds for lot area and lot� , <br /> density will be based strictly upon environmental concerns and public <br /> � facilities availability. Zoning performance standards will be based <br /> , upon minimum health and safety standazds such as fire protection and <br /> open space availability. State Building Code performance standards <br /> will be enforced to ensure structurally sound, weather resistant <br /> � buildings providing adequate health and safety protection for the <br /> . future occupant and for the general public's welfaze. <br /> 5. Orono will encourage community pride. Private initiative has � <br /> �� � always been a chazacterstic of Orono residents. Programs will be � <br /> pursued to encourage continuing maintenance and upkeep of all <br /> properties and to promote the privately financed rehabilitation of <br /> - older and under-used properties. . <br /> 6.
