There is a need to add and modify the guided land use density ranges between Urban Medium Density(3-10 u/a),Urban Medium High/Mixed Use(10-20 u/a),and Urban High Density(10-20 u/a). 3. To introduce interim uses within these ranges in a logical manner, some modifications of existing land use names was necessary, including adding a new Urban Medium High category and renaming Urban Low to Urban Estate. 4. The changes proposed do not reduce from the required 154 units of affordable housing, based on the number of acres guided for densities 8 units per acre or greater. (Comprehensive Plan Table 3B-3) 5. The changes proposed include a density of 3.2 units per acre over the sewered areas, over the minimum density of 3.0 units per acre required for Emerging Suburban Edge communities, as designated by the Metropolitan Council (Comprehensive Plan Table 3B- 5). 6. The changes proposed meet the prescribed housing growth for the periods 2021-2030 and 2031-2040 (Comprehensive Plan Table 3B-6.)

General Land Use Plan CMP PART 3B LAND USE PLAN INTRODUCTION This Land Use Plan is a refinement and restatement of the ongoing planning practices of Orono citizens. It respects and maintains the historic development patterns of the City. It continues the basic land use concepts developed by Orono Township in 1950 and it conforms to the goals established by the first organized comprehensive planning attempts in the mid 1960's. This Plan is prepared and presented for the following purposes: 1. The Land Use Plan is intended to be a management tool for City officials, City staff, and other parties involved in land development and growth management in Orono. Orono's land use plan indicates the basic location, density and types of land uses in the City that are considered to be compatible with environmental conditions and beneficial to the long term health, safety and welfare of the City and its citizens alike. Z The Land Use Plan is intended to be a guide for future development so as to reinforce our environmental protection commitment and to ensure such development will be consistent with existing land use. This Plan is compatible with the plans of nearby cities for land use of abutting neighborhoods and for overall levels of services and facilities. 3. The Land Use Plan is intended to advise the Metropolitan Council and our municipal neighbors of Orono's planning and growth management programs. The Land Use Plan illustrates and coordinates the various goals and policies of all the elements of the Community Management Plan. 4, The Land Use Plan is intended to be used as a basis for public facilities planning. The Land Use Plan plays an important role in determining each neighborhood's ultimate population, the required capacity of public facilities, and an appropriate capital improvements program. 5. The Land Use Plan is intended to be used as the basis for developing responsible ordinances for land use management. Zoning and subdivision controls have been established and will continue to be refined to implement the intent of this Land Use Plan. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 2 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan SCOPE The time framework of the Land Use Plan is intended to be consistent with the regional planning period of 2020 through 2040 and with the City's permanent planning policy for rural Orono. Orono's long range land use plans call for permanent maintenance of the existing low density rural residential areas. There is to be no staged growth plan and no expansion of the existing urban service area. This commitment is particularly important to the many Orono citizens who are making private investments based upon this concept. BASIC LAND USE CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES Orono's planning programs have long recognized the development paradox, or urbanization spiral, which often results from arbitrary planning assumptions or from incomplete analysis of planning alternatives. The most striking example in Orono's situation is the documented evidence that over- extension of sanitary sewers, ostensibly to solve a pollution problem, can easily in itself cause irretrievable water quality degradation of Lake Minnetonka. Chapter 1 of this Plan outlines the "urbanization spiral". Nutrient management technologies such as NURP ponds, alum treatments, and a wide variety of Best Management Practices provide added tools to manage runoff from rural densities. However, Orono cannot and will not rely solely on man- made systems for preserving water quality, and will not increase density to pay for stormwater management infrastructure. A principal goal of Orono's planning program is the protection of natural resources and environmental amenities, particularly the water quality of Lake Minnetonka. The Environmental Protection Plan emphasizes Orono's unique environmental position in relation to the long-term health of Lake Minnetonka. Retention of natural vegetation, light, air, and open space will be promoted. Shorelines will be protected from erosion and alteration. Water quality preservation is dependent upon effective sewage treatment programs. Urbanized areas, shoreland areas and remaining existing higher -density housing clusters within the Rural area have been or will be provided with municipal sanitary sewer to prevent discharge of untreated or insufficiently treated sewage effluent into the Lake. In the rural areas, low density land use can be safely served long- term by individual on-site sewage treatment systems. Historic development patterns have resulted in a city which is partially urban and partially rural. These two development patterns offer a variety of housing to meet residents' lifestyle and service desires. The citizens of Orono have determined that a long range planning objective of the City is the permanent retention of the rural community. This objective is in line with the existing developed density of the area, and with the similar plans of other cities abutting the rural area. Orono is partly in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and partly outside the current MUSA. The MUSA was established by Metropolitan Council to define the extent of areas where urban services will be provided and urban scale development will occur. Urban and rural neighborhoods require differing levels of public services and facilities. The urban areas of Orono have sufficient density to require, and to financially support, municipal sewer and water City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 313, Page 3 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan services, increased police and fire protection, public works projects and public recreational facilities. These areas have such facilities in place and in sufficient capacity to accommodate all projected urban development. The rural areas have limited density and have environmental restraints prohibiting urban density encroachments. Orono expects future development in both the urban and the rural portions of the city. The urban area is expected to have new residential infill development on the existing vacant lots and undeveloped parcels at densities consistent with the Community Management Plan. Additional of higher density housing is anticipated in the planning term to accommodate a wider range of affordability and lifecycle housing needs, overall urban density will remain relatively low. The rural area is expected to have continued infill residential development. Non-residential development will likely be limited to open space recreation. Over time, changes in national priorities, population trends, metropolitan plans and metropolitan facilities have continued to reinforce the planning and development objectives of Orono. Community leaders have consistently held firm to the quality over quantity in approving development proposals, and will continue to do so. The projected population is a direct result of Orono's environmental protection policies and is consistent with the proposed public facilities plans of Orono, the Hennepin County Public Works Department, the Minnesota Department of Transportation and Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES). Table 3B-1 illustrates Orono Population and Household growth, from 1970, projected through 2040. The most recent data supplied by the Met Council, in 2016, shows 7,691 people in 3,037 households.

Environmental and social pressures have eliminated any plans for expansion of County Road 15 along the lakeshore. Orono will continue to promote and implement strategies to reroute traffic away from the lakeshore areas. Regional sewer service facilities plans were revised three decades ago in response to Orono's plans for low-density development. The final Orono -Long Lake Interceptor is in place with a design capacity for less than 8,400 Orono residents and a limited service area. In the early 1980's, the Maple Plain Interceptor was similarly designed to provide only limited capacity for Orono. These capacity limitations are consistent with Orono's goals for the rural area. Orono's commercial and economic development has always been centered in the historic town centers. The shopping, employment, education and social needs of Orono residents have been met by commercial facilities and shopping centers located in Navarre and in surrounding communities. Promotion of duplicate facilities in Orono would tend to be uneconomic and counterproductive. Orono's housing plan is intended to accommodate all planned population growth in a wide variety of housing opportunities. New urban housing will be in a variety of forms including single family homes on scattered vacant lots throughout the sewered area; planned residential developments including mixed single family, attached townhome, and apartment dwelling units on vacant sewered parcels along Wayzata Boulevard and in the Navarre Area. Most new rural housing will be on new lots of two to five acres net dry -buildable area, all with prior approved site evaluation and proof of adequate septic system operation. In Shoreland areas previously brought into the MUSA, new low- density rural development may be provided with municipal sewers to afford the maximum level of protection for Lake Minnetonka and other Orono lakes. Orono's comprehensive sewer policy plan is designed to provide an adequate, safe level of sewage treatment and waste water disposal for all urban and rural properties. Sewage treatment policies respect the limited regional capacity and the differing levels of service required by urban and rural City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 313, Page 5 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan neighborhoods. Municipal sewer capacity is available for projected urban development within the existing urban service area. Orono's transportation plan is tailored to the different needs of urban and rural neighborhoods. Near the lakeshore and in some rural areas, the collector roads are relatively slow speed with circuitous alignment dictated by the hills and bays rather than by commuter preference. The urban areas are provided with a typical network of city streets connecting residential and shopping areas with each other. The rural area is gridded-off with a core system of publicly maintained collector and minor arterial streets running at regular intervals. Orono's parks and open space facilities reflect different urban and rural characteristics. In the urban area, the City provides numerous small neighborhood parks and playgrounds offering centers for neighborhood activities such as swimming, skating, softball, and soccer. In addition, three larger preserves (Casco Circle, Saga Hill, and Highwood) offer substantial "natural" areas. In the rural area, a variety of City -owned parks and preserves offer a range of active and passive recreation opportunities. Large public and quasi -public recreational facilities include Three Rivers Park District lands, several golf courses, a gun club, the Luce Line state Trail, the Dakota Rail Trail, as well as two 'big woods' Scientific and Natural Areas. LAND USE GOALS AND POLICIES Orono's Land Use Plan is based upon the following goals and policies which in turn have been actively developed and fostered by Orono residents over the last 45 years. Land Use Goals 1. To reinforce Orono's environmental protection commitment, with special emphasis on the protection of Lake Minnetonka and Orono's other lakes. 2. To maintain the historic identity and character of the separate urban and rural neighborhoods. 3. To provide appropriate places for a variety of local residential, educational, recreational, industrial and neighborhood commercial activities. 4. To protect neighborhoods from encroachment of incompatible land uses. 5. To coordinate Orono's land uses with that of neighboring communities. 6. To coordinate land uses and developed density with the financial and physical capabilities of the City. General Land Use Policies The boundary between Orono's Urban and Rural Areas is fixed. Orono's Urban Area will not be strictly defined by the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary or future expansions of the MUSA boundary but will be fixed by this and the other elements of the Community Management Plan. Orono's defined Urban and Rural Areas are best described by City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 6 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan the planned development types and densities. Orono's Urban and Rural areas are depicted and fixed by Map 3B-1. 2. The Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) will define the areas of Orono where municipal sewers may be extended. The MUSA will include all parts of Orono's Urban Area and may include parts of Orono's Rural Area where appropriate. The MUSA boundary in Orono will define areas where sewer exists or where it may be extended to serve existing or new development, but will not define the areas where general urban services will be provided, and it will not strictly define the boundary between higher density and low-density development. 3. Orono's land use plans will be based upon environmental protection policies. Land use and development must assure the conservation, protection and preservation of sensitive environmental resources in accordance with the goals and policies of the Environmental Protection Plan. 4. Development density will be limited throughout the city to a level which will not overload the natural surface water drainage and filtration system. Urbanization increases the rate and quantity of surface runoff while decreasing the water quality. To the extent that it is practical and feasible, the City will supplement existing natural assimilation capacities with man- made ponding areas, but will not allow increases in development density beyond the defined density as a result of such supplementation. 5. The wetlands, floodplains, and marshlands of the city will be protected and preserved as wildlife habitats, as unique open spaces, and as an economically practical and effective method of flood protection and storm water runoff filtration. Wherever possible, the City will acquire open space and flowage easements for conservation of these lands. The city will not support the filling of a wetland to provide a buildable lot. 6. Protection of lake resources will allow reasonable access, use and enjoyment while preventing overcrowding and excessive encroachment. In conformance with Orono's Shoreland Management regulations, Orono will prohibit overly dense development within 1,000 feet of Lake Minnetonka. Lake use regulations will be promoted to limit excessive boat density and overuse of sensitive bays. 7. Lake shorelines will be protected from alteration. Shoreland areas, whether bluff, beach or floodplain, are sensitive environmental features with significant impact on lake water quality, aesthetic values and land use function. These same factors act to draw development which can be destructive if not properly regulated. Natural vegetation in shoreland areas will be preserved insofar as practical and reasonable in order to limit surface runoff and soil erosion, and to utilize excess nutrients. Clearcutting will be prohibited. In areas of soil or wave action erosion, material stone rip rap shoreline protection will be encouraged. Where determined to be feasible and practical, alternative natural methods of shoreline protection other than rip -rap will be promoted. Excavation, filling and other grade changes at or near the shoreline for the sole purpose of accommodating development will be discouraged. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 7 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan 8. The City will work to encourage and facilitate slope stabilization measures prior to slope failures. 9. Development or alteration of floodplains will be restricted. The City will observe and administer Flood Plain regulations as required by the DNR. 10. Orono's land use plan will promote the preservation of open space, light and air. Sufficient open spaces will be provided in each neighborhood and on each lot to prevent overcrowding and to ensure adequate light, air and recreation for all residents. 11. Private ownership, maintenance and stewardship of the land, including open space and many types of improvements, is favored over public ownership as being in the best and most beneficial interests of the property owner and the public, providing for more intimate, responsive and economical land management. 12. No land owner should be denied the right to develop his land by any staged growth, land banking or no -growth policy, provided the development can be accomplished within the performance standards, policies and requirements of the Community Management Plan. 13. Future development must enhance the community. Land development should respect preserve the value of the land and the integrity, stability and beauty of the community. 14. Physical improvements required to accommodate new development must be provided by the developer. It is the policy of the City that development pays for itself, physical improvements such as roads, drainage and utilities required to accommodate new subdivisions or development should be designed, financed and installed directly by the benefited developer as a precondition to development In addition, this philosophy includes developer responsibility for special fire protection equipment or devices in the case of unusual land uses or building configurations, and/or special security services in the case of unusual public safety situations. 15. All physical improvements must conform to city standards. Physical improvements related to health, safety or community systems such as roads, pathways, drainage or utility systems will be designed, located and constructed to uniform, City -established standards to ensure proper functioning and compatibility with overall City plans. 16. Developers must dedicate lands required for public use. Land subdivision or any development that results in increased land use density, and hence increased demand for municipal services, will be expected to include public dedication of lands necessary for additional road rights of way, parks, playgrounds, trails, open space, ponds or storm water holding areas whenever such facilities are directly used by the subdivided land or required by such density increase. If the individual development's property is not conducive to public land dedication, then in lieu of lands the developer may be required to contribute funds for the municipal purchase of such City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 8 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan lands or the improvement of such facilities proportionate to the cumulative effect of such density increase from multiple small developments. 17. No land will be permitted to be subdivided or built upon which is held unsuitable by the City for the proposed use because of flood hazards, inadequate drainage, soil formations with severe limitations for development, severe erosion potential, unfavorable topography, inadequate water supply or sewage disposal capabilities, or any other feature likely to be harmful to the health, safety, or welfare of the future residents of the proposed subdivision or of the community. Urban Land Use Policies 1. The majority of Orono's urban area will be reserved for residential land use. Many urban residences will be intimately associated with the lake shoreline and will be subject to density restrictions because of sensitive environmental conditions. Medium and High Density multi- family residential uses will be limited to locations near existing shopping and transportation services, but will not be appropriate within 1,000 feet of the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka except when in close proximity to the Navarre commercial area abutting CR 15 or CR 19. 2. Commercial areas will be provided for neighborhood service businesses. The primary function of Orono's commercial areas will be to provide those retail, commercial and service businesses which are directly necessary to serve Orono's urban and rural residents. Commercial development will be limited to areas where full urban services, including municipal sanitary sewer and adequate transportation are available. Commercial development of a regional nature (i.e. "big box" retail) which would increase traffic, particularly on collector streets serving low density residential development, will be discouraged. Mixed Use Residential and Commercial Development is targeted for select traditionally commercial areas to provide a healthy base of customers for these limited commercial areas. 3. Lakeshore commercial areas will be provided for public access and limited lake -user services. Orono's residents and other lake users require lake access, fishing supplies, boat service and boat repair facilities which are unique to our location on a recreational development lake. Orono's Land Use Plan will provide locations for such special-purpose businesses where appropriate from both the land use and the lakeside environmental standpoint. No use or location will be permitted to adversely affect the lake quality or the public's general usage of the lake. All lakeshore commercial is to be limited to areas where full urban services, including municipal sanitary sewer and adequate transportation are available. 4. The City will encourage private unification and coordination of the existing commercial areas. Unplanned strip commercial developments will be discouraged. Coordinated projects designed to aesthetically enhance, unify and identify the business areas will be encouraged. 5. Future industrial development will be limited to the area of the existing Orono industrial park. No other location in Orono combines the availability of transportation and public utilities with remoteness from sensitive environmental features. In addition, this land use is consistent City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 9 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan with Long Lake's neighboring industrial development. 6. Commercial and industrial development will not be permitted to adversely affect neighboring residential property. The location, scale and types of commercial and industrial development will be controlled so as not to encroach upon or adversely impact the primary residential land uses in Orono. Wherever possible, natural land forms or buffers will be required between different land uses. 7. Public urban services must be available for all future commercial, industrial and urban - residential development. Commercial, industrial and urban -density residential uses will be permitted only where municipal sanitary sewer, water, adequate transportation, police and fire protection services are available. 8. Urban development will utilize the capacity of existing public facilities. New land uses and development will be allowed to infill existing vacant properties within the urban service area consistent with environmental limitations and with the existing or planned capacities of water, sewer, drainage transportation and recreational facilities. New development will not be permitted to overburden these services at the expense of the existing users. 9. Land use standards will limit the impact of urban encroachment on Lake Minnetonka. Minimum lot width will space out docks and structural encroachments while increasing areas of natural vegetation. Lake use regulations promulgated by the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District and supplemented with City regulations if necessary will limit the number of boats per property and the amount of public waters available for private docking and boat storage. 10. Retention of natural vegetation will limit the impact of urbanization as visible from the lake. Building heights will be limited to less than the typical tree height. Minimum green belts will be provided with prohibitions against clearcutting or excessive thinning of vegetation. Natural vegetation will be preserved on slopes and retaining walls will be discouraged except when absolutely necessary to prevent erosion, in which case they will be screened with natural vegetation. Rural Land Use Policies Orono's rural area will be reserved for permanent low-density residential land use. Orono's rolling rural area is not suitable for commercial agriculture. Likewise, the delicate balance of storm water nutrient loading vs. marshland assimilative capacity precludes expansion of the urban service area without major environmental problems for Lake Minnetonka. Therefore, the ideal land use for that portion of Orono located outside of the Urban Service Area is the planned low- density rural residential land use. Commercial and industrial uses will not be permitted in the rural area. Orono's rural area provides the opportunity for quasi- agricultural land uses. Greenhouses, orchards, small hobby farms, riding stables, and recreation areas such as large golf courses and park reserves are not possible in more crowded urban areas but they are compatible with rural residential properties. Thus, the total commercial activity of Orono is broader and more varied than if the City were all urban or all rural. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 313, Page 10 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan Rural density is limited by natural conditions. Development of rural Orono is naturally limited by a number of conditions including wetlands, steep slopes and areas of high water table, factors which influence building locations and transportation options as well as the location and spacing of on-site sewage treatment systems which rely on soil treatment of sewage effluent. The existing rural area will not be urbanized. Orono's Community Management Plan is not a staged growth plan. Municipal urban services will not be extended into the rural area or across open, rural lands. Rural land uses and densities do not require urban services. Urban services are not compatible with rural land use. Extension of certain urban services, such as extensive public road maintenance or municipal sewer or water cannot be economically justified or easily provided to developments in rural areas or at rural densities. Rural development will be subject to proven on-site sewage treatment capability. Future development in the rural area will be contingent upon the developer providing prior technical evidence that the site contains sufficient suitable land for all development, an acceptable primary drainfield area, and reserved space for at least one alternate drainfield area. The zoning area requirements for rural Orono will therefore be based upon minimum areas of dry, buildable, contiguous land exclusive of roadways, wetlands, streams or areas of high water table. Rural land use densities will allow maximum retention of private woods and open space. Low rural densities will accommodate home -sites without affecting the traditional vistas of open fields and woods. The retention of these woodlands and marshlands will then assure permanent habitat for our wildlife. Public open space will be provided on a large-scale or Park Reserve basis, but neighborhood or mini -parks are unnecessary because of the large amount of available privately owned and maintained open space. Rural lakeshore areas within the Shoreland and within the MUSA will be provided with municipal sewer service upon request. Municipal sewer service connections will be available to new or existing residences within the designated Shoreland Overlay District and within the MUSA when requested, costs to connect will be the responsibility of the property owner. However, this policy will not preclude development of such areas using fully conforming Individual Sewage Treatment Systems. Lakeshore Residential Land Use Policies Although Orono's lakeshore has a wide range of diversity in lot size and home size, the predominant character of Orono's lakeshore is natural. Natural is defined in part by much of the lakeshore being historically developed as large estate lots with homes set back a substantial distance from the lakeshore, or being developed as moderate homes on moderate lots leaving substantial open space. Natural includes remnants of native forests and vegetation, protection of the lakeshore from hardcover and impervious surface encroachments. The exception to the natural lakeshore is the areas where historically small cottages were built on small lots close to the lakeshore. These cottages in many cases have been updated, remodeled or expanded into year- round homes. The key goal of the City's Comprehensive Plan is to protect Lake Minnetonka, and other Orono City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 11 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan lakes and waterways which includes the preservation of the natural character of the lakeshore and the water quality of the lakes. As the demand for, and value of, lakeshore property has dramatically increased, so has the pressure to expand or replace older homes with much larger homes. This pressure has the potential to substantially alter the natural character of the lakeshore, and the more open and natural environment enjoyed by property owners along much of the lakeshore in Orono. The following policies will guide the City in addressing development on the lakeshore. 1. Lake Minnetonka shall be protected as a natural and recreational resource. 2. The natural character of the lakeshore shall be preserved, and when possible, enhanced. The views and open space currently enjoyed by lakeshore property owners shall be reasonably protected. 4. The size of a house to be allowed on a lot shall be determined, in part, based on the size of the lot, as well as on the shape and topography of the lot. 5. The increase in massing of structures on the lakeshore shall be limited. 2040 REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK Accommodating future growth of the Metro Area is a concern that will require wide-ranging resources. The Metropolitan Council in 2015 adopted "Thrive MSP 2040" to provide a plan for addressing the challenges that will be faced by the Twin Cities area over the next two decades in accommodating expected growth in the region. Forecasts indicate the metro area will grow by 820,000 people between 2010 and 2040, and as the average household size continues to shrink (from 2.55 in 2010 to 2.43 by 2040) an additional 389,000 households must be accommodated. In addressing the challenges of growth, Metropolitan Council has acknowledged that a "one size fits all" approach to implementing the Regional Development Framework is not appropriate, and has designated Geographic Planning Areas to identify communities with similar types of growth. In general, Orono's area within the MUSA boundary is designated as "Emerging Suburban Edge" and the areas outside the MUSA boundary are "Rural Residential". Metropolitan Council has identified a set of implementation strategies for each of these categories, as well as an umbrella of strategies that will apply to all communities. Map 3C-1 outlines the Community Designations and the community responsibilities. Each local community is required to address how it will plan for its share of regional affordable housing needs for the decade 2021-2030. Metropolitan Council has apportioned the forecasted need among each of the municipalities in the 7 -county metro area. Minnesota Statutes require that comprehensive plans include an implementation program that describes public programs, fiscal devices and other specific actions to be undertaken in stated sequence to implement the comprehensive plan and ensure conformity with metropolitan system plans. One required element is a housing implementation program, "...including City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 12 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan official controls to implement the housing element of the land use plan, which will provide sufficient existing and new housing to meet the local unit's share of the metropolitan area need for low and moderate income housing." Orono's share is forecasted at 154 new affordable housing units for the decade 2021- 2030. EXISTING AND FUTURE LAND USE SUMMARY Map 3B-2 depicts the existing land uses in Orono as of 2016. Table 3B-2: Orono Existing Land Use Summary, shows just over 1/3 of Orono's total area is in open water; of the remaining 2/3 that is land area, 92% is devoted to residential, parks & open space uses, or underdeveloped.

General Land Use Plan Map 3B-3 indicates the proposed land use plan of the city, identifying appropriate land uses and densities for each individual neighborhood. This land use map will form the basis for land use and zoning decisions over the next 20 years. Table 3B-3 is a summary of Orono's Planned Land Use. Note that the Summary reflects that the planned uses are to be allowed to take effect immediately rather than being staged over a period of years, thus the 2030 and 2040 predicted acreages are the same as 2020 levels.

The land uses identified in Map3B-3a and Map 3B -3b are outlined in greater detail below. 1. Lakes and Open Water Areas within the city boundary of open water. The Lakes and associated watersheds are a significant influence on the quality of life and character of the City. However, since they are not a land use, they are not included in the land use calculations for the city. Open water constitutes approximately 34% of the surface area of the City. 2. Rural Preserve (1 unit per 5 acres) The northwest corner of the City is planned for a lower density of one unit per five acres. This area has been developed to provide large lot and quasi agricultural home sites. The extension of municipal water or sewer is not intended for these areas. Residential dwelling units will be provided as single family detached structures. 3. Rural Residential (1 unit per 2 acres) This is the typical rural residential density developed and planned to be permanently self-supporting. No rural density will be allowed greater than one unit per two acres except for those residences in existing rural housing clusters that were originally developed many decades ago and in most cases have been provided with municipal sewer within the past 3 decades. New rural developments may include housing clustering when environmental and site conditions allow, provided the overall density within the development conforms to these requirements, and provided that all sewage treatment needs can be adequately met within. Residential dwelling units will be provided as single family detached City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 14 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan structures. 4. Urban Estate Lew Residential (0.5-2 units per acre) This is intended for areas that have developed in a land use pattern of lots developed many decades ago smaller than 1 acre, and have access to sanitary sewer services. These lots have a particular impact on lake water quality, and lake character and storm water management, massing, and hardcover controls are critical to the retention of this character. Residential dwelling units will be provided as single family detached structures. Urban Low Media Residential (3- 8 4-0 units per acre) This higher density will be reserved for properties deemed by the City Council to be so uniquely situated that residential development at the prescribed density will not negatively impact surrounding land uses. Such properties must have municipal sewer and water available. Other factors that will be taken into consideration in determining the appropriate locations for this density will include proximity to and the need for other urban utilities and services in relation to the proposed use; transportation system impacts and site access; and the ability of the proposed use to meet City housing goals. Residential dwelling units will be provided as single and two family structures. 6. Urban Medium H4gh/ Mixed Use Residential ( 8-1510-20 units per acre) This land use designation is reserved for specific sites, which based on their proximity to services and transportation corridors are deemed appropriate for higher density projects. The Mixed Use Residential designation is intended for established commercial areas on higher classification transportation routes to introduce an element of higher density residential. This residential component will serve to augment the commercial uses with a near -by customer base and to provide an efficient use of land. The properties targeted for Mixed Use classification are in the Navarre area, including a number of commercially zoned properties abutting Shadywood Road, and additional commercial and residential properties abutting Shoreline Drive. This Mixed Use designation is intended to allow for the possibility of higher density multi -family residential development such as senior and assisted living, townhomes, condominiums or apartment buildings. Under the Mixed Use designation, properties currently zoned for residential use are not intended to be converted to commercial property, but existing commercial property could be converted to higher -density residential use or mixed residential -commercial uses in the same buildings. The City may also consider new zoning standards to regulate potential mixed-use projects. The Metropolitan Council requires that communities provide a measurement of forecasted employment. Acceptable measures include floor area ratios, building footprint percentages or impervious surface percentages. The City anticipates mixed use within the context of the neighborhood, and not necessarily specific to a particular parcel. Where employed, the City can envision ground level commercial services, with 2nd and 3rd level residential, though that is not the expected universal development pattern. The employment and service centers in Orono are very suburban in nature, equating to low Floor Area Ratios (FAR). The City anticipates development and redevelopment of its employment and service centers to continue that development pattern, given the City's goals toward open space, stormwater management, and relatively modest building scale. The City anticipates its commercial and mixed use areas to be driven by retail and service industries, with a corresponding FAR between 0.2 and 0.35. Properties in Area E of Table 3B-4 and Map 3B-4 are the primary candidates for mixed use City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 15 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan development. The City has identified 49 51 net acres of properties that could be developed or redeveloped in the next 20 years. Based on the height limit (30 feet) and the desire for commercial services to mix with residential, the City anticipates 70% of Area E to convert to residential uses, the remaining 30% to Commercial. Assuming a FAR ratio of 0.25 to 0.45, there is the potential of 418,000 and 731,000 sq ft of building area. Assuming up to a third of that being used for Commercial purposes, that nets between 125,400 and 219,500 sq ft of commercial space, primarilX in Area E. Total Sq Ft (Total 1/3 of area for Jobs, Assuming SF * FAR) Commercial 1000 sgft per worker FAR 522,720 172,498 172 0.25 FAR 940,896 310,496 310 0.45 Applying the Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey findings*, in particular the median square feet per worker, we can extrapolate a conservative estimate of 1000 sq ft per worker, based on likely retail, office or service employment, census region, climate, and number of floors. This yields a range of potential employment of between 172 and 310 workers in Area E alone. * Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey completed by the US Energy Information Administration, updated December, 2016 7. Urban Medium High Density Residential (15-20 units per acre) This land use designation is reserved for specific sites. which based on their Droximitv to services and transportation corridors, are deemed appropriate for higher density projects, but not appropriate for the highest densities. Other factors that will be taken into consideration in determining the he appropriate locations for this density will include proximity to and the need for other urban utilities and services in relation to the proposed use; transportation system impacts and site access; and the ability of the proposed use to meet City housing goals. Residential dwelling units are anticipated to be provided as 3-5 unit townhomes. apartments. condominiums. and senior housinc structures. no higher than 30 feet in defined height Urban High Density Residential (20-25 units per acre) This land use designation is reserved for specific sites, which based on their proximity to services and transportation corridors, are deemed appropriate for higher density projects. Other factors that will be taken into consideration in determining the appropriate locations for this density will include proximity to and the need for other urban utilities and services in relation to the proposed use; transportation system impacts and site access; and the ability of the proposed use to meet City housing goals. Residential dwelling units are anticipated to be provided as 4 unit townhomes, apartments, condominiums, and senior housing structures, no higher than 30 feet in defined height. 9. Island Residential (1 unit per 5 acres) The Island residential is characterized by limited access, utilities, and municipal services for properties originally developed as seasonal cabins. The Land use category is intended to preserve this land use without encouraging additional subdivision. This area is envisioned for seasonal occupancy in single family detached structures. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 313, Page 16 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan 10. Commercial/ Office Commercial/ Office is the general land use describing 3 sub land use categories: Lakeshore Commercial, Navarre Commercial District, and Orono/ Long Lake Business District. Urban commercial development is limited to two areas which are provided with all the necessary urban services and facilities. LAKESHORE COMMERCIAL Lakeshore Commercial, restricted to lake access and lake user service businesses, including marinas, are appropriate for a lakeside community and require a lakeshore location. Special performance standards are necessary to assure protection of the lake environment. Parking, utilities, lake/ Highway access, and pedestrian circulation must be considered in siting new Lake Shore Commercial Uses. NAVARRE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. See also Urban Medium High Density Residential/ Mixed Use. The major commercial center of Orono will continue to be Navarre. This area will provide opportunity for neighborhood retail and service businesses, plus professional offices. Accessory functions such as offices and living units or limited multi -family developments will be considered appropriate in or near the Navarre commercial area. The scale and type of retail uses in a pedestrian -friendly environment is the most important development parameter for the Navarre commercial area. The City will encourage redevelopment of individual commercial sites in Navarre to allow for an expanded range of neighborhood services and local small business opportunities. The Navarre Commercial District extends along either side of Shoreline Drive from the intersection of County Roads 15 and 19 westward to the Orono -Spring Park border, and along both sides of Shadywood Road from Lyric Avenue to Lydiard Avenue. The commercial uses along these intersecting corridors are typically only one tier deep, with virtually all commercial properties abutting either Shoreline Drive or Shadywood Road. Additionally, the commercial properties are not continuous, with residential properties scattered among them, making for a somewhat fragmented business district that is spread out over a mile in length from end to end. Along these two corridors the second tier of development is typically residential. Past City planning efforts for the Navarre area have identified a number of challenges to be addressed as Navarre redevelops in the years to come: 1. High traffic volumes and the existing traffic management infrastructure result in poor pedestrian accessibility. Pedestrians have limited options for crossing CR 15 or CR 19. The Park and Ride facility location and inflexibility of bus routes (partially due to the location and configuration of the P&R lot) requires that bus patrons cross CR 15 on at least one leg of their commute. 2. Parking availability is a limiting factor for expansion or redevelopment of existing businesses. 3. Beautification efforts are hindered by road width and right-of-way constraints as well as financial constraints. 4. Aging buildings are ripe for redevelopment yet provide low rental rates that allow local City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 313, Page 17 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan businesses to survive and thrive, reducing the incentive to redevelop. 5. There is little architectural cohesiveness among the existing buildings. 6. Compatibility of certain business uses with the closely adjacent residential neighborhood can become an issue. 7. Desire to expand pedestrian connectivity to adjoining neighborhoods and to Dakota Rail Trail. 8. Introduction of higher density mixed use (residential and commercial) development to select sites identified in the Land Use Plan. ORONO/LONG LAKE BUSINESS AREA An additional commercial area is designated along Wayzata Boulevard where the availability of transportation and utilities as well as proximity to similar commercial developments in Orono and Long Lake, make commercial use appropriate. Orono will coordinate its commercial development planning related to Wayzata Boulevard area with the City of Long Lake to ensure the Long Lake downtown area remains vital and viable, to focus retail development in a compact downtown retail area, and to prevent the extension of retail development west of Willow Drive in Orono. The retail development in the Wayzata Boulevard area will be community or neighborhood scale rather than "big box" regional scale development. The types of retail uses will be those that focus on providing services to the residents and businesses of Long Lake and Orono, while also drawing from the reduced traffic stream on Wayzata Boulevard resulting from opening of the new Highway 12 corridor. However, the retail development is not to draw substantial traffic from beyond Orono. The development plans for the Highway 12 area will encourage locally -owned and operated businesses that provide services to Orono and Long Lake residents. Additionally, the Highway 12 retail area will be a pedestrian -friendly area. This involves providing trails/sidewalks along the roadways providing access to the retail uses. It also involves providing public amenities that provide a sense of place and provide a gathering place for the public. Parameters for commercial use of this area are as follows: 1. The area affected is property lying between Kelley Parkway and Wayzata Boulevard, west of Willow Drive and east of Old Crystal Bay Road. 2. Allowed uses in this area include professional offices, limited service uses, retail uses accessory to the office use, and senior and assisted living uses. 3. Access to all uses will be via Kelley Parkway. Direct access to Willow Drive, if allowed, are intended to be right-in/right-out only. There shall be no direct access points onto Wayzata Boulevard. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 313, Page 18 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan 4. "Big box" retail uses will not be allowed within this area. 9. Park/ Recreation/ Open Space Park, Recreation, and Open Space Land Use includes public and private parks and natural areas throughout the community. The recreational facilities identified on the Land Use Plan are principally large natural or open space areas which are compatible with their Rural Area location. 10. Industrial This district provides space for industrial activities for companies that are able and willing to achieve superior standards of design and environmental protection. Industrial land uses should be restricted to areas abutting major transportation corridors and individually cited so as to minimum negative impacts on residential areas. Based on their heavy hardcover needs, industrial areas should be located further than 1,000 feet from lakes. The Metropolitan Council requires that communities provide a measurement of forecasted employment. Acceptable measures include floor area ratios, building footprint percentages or impervious surface percentages. Orono anticipates that new development in the Industrial land use will tend to result in FAR of 0.32 to 0.4. There is about 10 acres of vacant or underdeveloped industrially guided property. Applying the same methodology as outlined in the Mixed Use section: Total Sq Ft (Total SF * Jobs, Assuming 1500 sqft per FAR) warehouse worker FAR 0.32 139,392 93 FAR 0.40 174,240 116 The City can anticipate an additional 93-116 jobs upon the full buildout of the Industrial areas. These two areas, using the conservative estimates outlines, demonstrate Orono can accommodate employment growth projections. 11. Major Highway and Railway Uses Identifies land occupied by federal or state highways and railway improvements. NA VARRE AREA PLAN In 2018, the City completed the Navarre Area Plan (NAP) with the aid of a Planning Consultant, WSB and Associates. This planning process focused on the land range vision and land use goals for the Navarre area, and to inform the Comprehensive Plan, for this update. The proposed land uses shown on Map 3B- 3 include the findings from the Navarre Area Plan. Map 313-3a shows the Navarre area specifically. The Navarre Planning Process employed a Planning Advisory Committee (PAC), consisting of 13 members of the Navarre area community, including business owners and operators and residents. The Planning Process included three PAC meetings, an open house in January, and a Joint Work session in April. Public comment was collected via the open house, work session, on-line surveys, and the use of a social media tool, Social Pinpoint. The full report, including the appendices detailing the comments received, and the market study, are attached in Appendix 3B -A of this chapter. The NAP evaluated several factors influencing the changes in the Navarre neighborhood over the next 20 City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 313, Page 19 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan years, including the market, traffic and transportation. The goal of the PAC was to influence and guide this change toward a Navarre area that can serve as a pseudo "downtown" of Orono, while still respecting the core Orono values as a small, rural community. A market study was completed by Maxfield and Associates, tested the land use assumptions made by the land use plan. The market study was used to adjust the planned land use map from the 2030 to the 2040 Plan. Traffic and transportation issues are a major influence on the character and change in Navarre. In 2019, Hennepin County is expected to improve the intersection of County Roads 15 and 19 (Shoreline and Shadywood Road), though these improvements are not expected to increase capacity. Capacity challenges of this section of the community are discussed in the Transportation Chapter. The findings of the Navarre Area Plan are highlighted below. Interaction with Lake Minnetonka ■ As part of any redevelopment proposals involving parcels on the south side of Shoreline Drive between Carman Street and Kelly Avenue, the City should work with developers to identify opportunity areas that allow for viewing, sitting, and walking near the lakeshore. Fishing or boating connections to Lake Minnetonka are not anticipated. Future Development ■ Cautiously consider allowing increased building heights and residential density in areas along Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road (where appropriate) to increase pedestrian traffic and encourage additional retail development. ■ Consider incorporating incentives into the zoning ordinance that allow for higher density in exchange for enhanced architectural features, underground parking, public amenities, plazas, open spaces, and recreation areas. ■ Adopt architectural and design regulations where appropriate to require pedestrian scale design. Consider regulations for maximum building setbacks, minimum window coverage, location of parking facilities, architectural materials, fagade articulation, and entryways. ■ Review all permitted and conditional commercial uses within zoning districts along Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road to ensure that the types of desired businesses are allowed in Navarre. Types of allowable uses should focus on small scale neighborhood goods and services and avoid those that do not have a large customer draw. ■ Consider reduced parking requirements for businesses that provide bicycle parking. ■ Explore acquiring additional property for providing shared parking and periodic public gatherings for Navarre businesses. ■ Host a developer round table to discuss obstacles to development in Navarre. Be prepared to address those obstacles. ■ Consider developing a fagade improvement program to encourage the revitalization of neglected commercial buildings. Revolving loan funds may keep the money working within Navarre. Transportation Improvements City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 313, Page 20 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan Work with Hennepin County on a plan for future improvements to Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road that improves safety and mobility for pedestrians and cyclists. Consider eliminating some of the free right turns at the northwest, southwest, and southeast corners to help narrow the intersection, reduce speeds, and improve vehicle predictability. Check in with Hennepin County staff bimonthly and use the Navarre Small Area Plan PAC as the review committee for potential improvements. Explore options for adding pedestrian and streetscaping amenities with any roadway improvements such as wider sidewalks, decorative pavement, landscaping, benches, and other ornamental features. Meet with Hennepin County transportation staff to discuss potential improvements to alternate arterials that would relieve traffic pressure on Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road through Navarre. Discuss options to reduce traffic volumes on Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road. Consider plans for access and the impact of expected traffic volume on Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road with any redevelopment along these roads. Work with Hennepin County on developing an access management plan for properties that may redevelop along these roadways. Shadywood Trail Connection ■ Continue to have discussions with Hennepin County and Three Rivers Park District regarding the trail connection along Shadywood Road to keep the process moving forward. ■ Engage with impacted property owners early to identify necessary mitigation required. ■ Conduct additional public engagement regarding the trail as part of the community engagement surrounding the intersection improvements. Community Events ■ Encourage the development of a community festival. ■ Consider collaboration with nearby communities on an event that incorporates multiple destinations along the trail. ■ Utilize the city -owned parking lot on the north side of Shoreline Drive and west of Shadywood Road as a possible location for hosting tents, bands, and vendors associated with an event. ■ Should the block northwest of Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Lane (Maxfield Study Block 4) redevelop, that redevelop should include a space available for public gatherings such as an annual festival. ■ Leverage an annual festival as an opportunity to do enhanced branding for Navarre. ■ Explore opportunities for collaboration with the Mound farmers' market to organize a farmers' market along the Dakota Rail Trail in Navarre. ■ Consider the formation of a Navarre Business Association. Tear Downs Review development standards applicable to single-family homes in Navarre. Review to ensure that adequate controls are in place to ensure that new development is compatible with the existing character and scale of the neighborhood, while still encouraging the City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 21 Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan redevelopment of blighted properties. Such standards could include requirements for floor area ratio, height, hardcover, architectural materials, landscaping, and accessory structures. ■ Proactively address blighted properties through the City's code enforcement process so that existing homes are well maintained. Consider revisions to the City's code enforcement process or adopting fines if non-compliance is an issue. ■ Review its demolition and construction regulations. If the regulation updates require addition administration and monitoring by City staff, consideration should be given to increasing the demolition permit fee commensurate with the addition staffing demand. WHA TS CHANGED This update of the Comprehensive Plan introduces higher residential density along Kelley Parkway and Wayzata Boulevard, lowers density for the properties adjacent to the fire station on Willow, removes residential mixed use density along Shadywood, and introduces additional properties to potential mixed use development/ redevelopment along Shoreline in Navarre. These changes are all reflected on maps 313-3a and 313-3b. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT/STAGED DEVELOPMENT The City does not intend to establish a staged growth plan, limiting a property owner from the use of their land, provided the development can be accomplished within the performance standards, policies and requirements of the Community Management Plan. The City anticipates its growth to occur in the same manner has been employed over the last three decades. The majority of subdivision based growth will occur via the splitting of larger lots into subdivisions of less than 6 new building sites. Small areas of the community are conducive to higher density. These projects have served to accommodate our aging community, and provide additional housing and neighborhood options not prevalent in Orono. The City's new residential growth within the MUSA area is expected in one of 5 primary areas, depicted on Map 3134 Planned Development areas, and summarized in Table 313-4, Predicted Growth in Sewered Areas. The table predicts growth over the next 2 decades and identifies the MUSA part and the Traffic Analysis Zone impacted. Assuming development at the minimum range, the city will meet its household growth projection for 2030 and 2040. The city also maintains opportunity for property owners to provide housing to meet affordability goals. The Net Density for the sewered areas of Orono identified in Table 3134, is summarized for clarity on Table 313-5. The 763 8�4 units planned to be served by sanitary sewer services over the next 20 plus years yields a net density of 3.214-46 units per acre.

Development of these areas typically follows a piecemeal pattern as individual properties split into 1-3 units, where lots can accommodate subdivision. 20% of the land (and 40% of the identified for future growth) is in the Navarre area; Due to the costs associated with redevelopment, including acquisition of multiple parcels, and the city's conservative view of public financial aid to private sector development, it is anticipated that this growth will be slow. The balance of the predicted sewered growth will occur on the remaining larger parcels where municipal services are available currently. Table 3B-6 below illustrates that based on predicted development patterns, the City can meet its projected growth in the sewered areas.

Retail trade is the third highest employer at 15% of jobs. The City anticipates employment growth to occur as existing businesses evolve and grow. With the exception of new commercial areas along the west side of Shadywood, the City does not anticipate the expansion of commercial areas in the city.

General Land Use Plan Figure 313-2 Employment by Industry HISTORIC SITE PRESER VA TION PLAN Orono began to develop in the mid 19th Century, and many of the vestiges of early development are still present, in the form of standing buildings and structures, foundations, fence lines, roadway corridors, place names and other more subtle reminders of the past. Additionally, due to Orono's unique location on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, prehistoric native burial mound sites are known to have existed in various locations throughout the City. Orono has long encouraged the preservation of historic sites and structures, but has never adopted a formal preservation plan. Because no formal plan has been in place, many historic properties have been lost or significantly changed as development and redevelopment progressed. The subdividing of many of the old lakeshore estate properties has typically left a stately mansion surrounded by modern high-end homes rather than formal grounds. The City is fortunate that the West Hennepin Pioneer's Association Museum is located in neighboring Long Lake, with its members serving as an invaluable resource for helping to preserve the past. Historic Preservation Policies 1. In order to ensure that Orono's heritage is preserved, the City will consider development of a Historic Preservation Plan. The intent of such a plan would be to establish goals, policies and local regulations resulting in preservation of historic sites, buildings, place names, corridors, etc. 2. Orono will work with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in determining whether properties proposed for development contain historically significant resources which should be preserved.
