CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan PC Exhibit N <br /> ux��v r.�vv usE <br /> URBAN RESIDENTIAL LAND USE <br /> Urban residential development will retain the basic singie family character of the <br /> community but will also provide for a wider range of housing types at generally <br /> low densities consistent with available services, the natural amenities of the land, <br /> and environmental protection. Planning devices such as clustering will permit a <br /> limited amount of multiple dwellings such as patio homes, townhouses and <br /> garden apartments to be located near commercial areas within the overall planned <br /> density of the neighborhood. <br /> Urban residential development requires municipal sanitary sewer, an adequate <br /> transportation system,neighborhood recreational facilities and other typical urban <br /> services. The location of urban residential uses depends to a substantial degree on <br /> the environmental impact on Lake Minnetonka and the protection of the natural <br /> wetlands system for storm water filtration and purification. <br /> All urban residentiai land within 1,000 feet of Lake Minnetonka will require <br /> special environmental restrictaons and lower land use densities in order to assure <br /> shoreline protection and minimal direct storm water runoffpollution. <br /> LOW DEI�TSITY RESIDENTIAL - 0.5 to 2 UNITS PER ACRE <br /> This is the typical urban residential density developed and planned for areas <br /> which are within 1,000 feet of Lake Minnetonka and which have partacular <br /> environmental impact on the lake. <br /> � LOW-MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL -2 to 3 UNITS PER ACRE <br /> This is the typical land use densiry of the historic development in Navarre and <br /> the older residential neighborhoods. Certain other residential areas are planned <br /> for this density where services aze available beyond I,040 feet from the <br /> lakeshare. Municipal water is generally provided to these districts for supply <br /> and fire protection,in addition to the necessary sewer service. <br /> MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL - 3 to 7 L'NITS PER ACRE <br /> These densities aze pmvided for along Highway 12 as shown on the Land Use <br /> Plan. Development at these densities will be limited to properties where <br /> special conditions such as abutting land use, as well as proximity to urban <br /> utilities and services, would rnake the parcel appropriate for housing clusters <br /> or multi-family developmen� Sitxce the areas identified for this higher density <br /> development are to some extent limited by environmental constraints, each <br /> such development must be analyzed and reviewed on an individual basis. The <br /> properties identified for residential development at densities of 3-7 units per <br /> acre include properties guide-planned for such use as a result of <br /> Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 2 in 198$, as well as properties <br /> � <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-31 <br />
