FUTURE LAND USE DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK | CHAPTER 9
Table 9.1: L and Use Category Charac ter i s t i cs and Loc at ion Cr i ter ia Land Use Category
Use Characteristics
- Traditional park and recreation areas including both passive and active recreation uses.
Parks and Greenways/Open Space
- Environmentally sensitive areas and crucial scenic corridors that should be preserved and possibly incorporated into the city’s trail system.
- Areas essential for stormwater management using best management practices and natural systems.
Low Density (Single Family) Residential
- Restrictive land uses, emphasizing single- family detached development, although innovative single-family forms may be permitted with special review.
- Civic uses are generally allowed, with special permission for higher intensity uses.
- Developments will be provided with full municipal services.
Medium Density Residential
- Restrictive land uses, emphasizing housing. - May incorporate a mix of housing types, including single-family detached, single-family attached, and townhouse uses.
- Limited multi-family development may be permitted with special review and criteria
- Civic uses are generally allowed, with special permission for higher intensity uses.
Features and Location Criteria
- Parks should be centrally located with easy access for both pedestrian and auto users.
- Residents should be within approximately a half mile of a neighborhood park.
- All parks should be connected through the city’s trail and greenway system.
- Environmentally sensitive areas, including native plant communities (e.g., prairies) and aquatic resources (e.g., wetlands), should be protected and incorporated into a Natural Resource Conservation Overlay District.
- Primary uses within residential growth centers. - Should be insulated from adverse environmental effects, including noise, smell, air pollution, and light pollution.
- Should provide a framework of streets and open spaces. - Typical densities range from 1 to 4 units per acre, although individual attached projects may include densities up to 6 units per acre in small areas.
- Applies to established neighborhoods of the city which have diverse housing types, and in developing areas that incorporate a mix of development.
- Developments should generally have articulated scale and maintain identity of individual units.
- Tend to locate in clusters, but should include linkages to other aspects of the community.
- Typical maximum density is 4 to 12 units per acre, typically in a middle range.
- Innovative design should be encouraged in new projects. - Projects at this density may be incorporated in a limited way into single-family neighborhoods.
- May be incorporated into mixed use projects and planned areas.
- Locate at sites with access to major amenities or activity centers - Should be integrated into the fabric of nearby residential areas, while avoiding adverse traffic and visual impacts on low-density uses
High Density Residential
- Allows multi-family and compatible civic uses - Allows integration of limited office and convenience commercial within primarily residential areas
- Traffic should have direct access to collector or arterial streets to avoid overloading local streets
- Requires Planned Unit Development designation when developed near lower intensity uses or in mixed use developments
- Developments should avoid creation of compounds - Attractive landscape standards should be applied - Typical density is in excess of 10 units per acre - May be incorporated into mixed use projects and planned areas
