Centerville 2040 Chapter 3: Land Use <br /> 1 UTURE I.AND �JSE (..ATEG®RIES <br /> The Future Land Use Plan identifies several categories to guide development and <br /> redevelopment in the City. These generally include residential uses, commercial uses, <br /> industrial uses, public and park uses, and undevelopable land such as right of way and <br /> open water. The following are descriptions of these categories. <br /> Residential Uses <br /> A primary concern for the City regarding residential uses is to protect and enhance the <br /> existing housing stock and to allow new residential developments that contain low, <br /> medium and high density housing as appropriate. The residential areas currently served <br /> by utilities consist primarily of low density single family detached housing. Existing <br /> available land for residential development is either contiguous with areas presently served <br /> by public utilities, or is within areas guided for redevelopment such as the Downtown <br /> Area. It is assumed that public utilities will be extended to new residential development as <br /> appropriate and in a contiguous manner. <br /> The Future Land Use Plan (Map 3-2) includes four land use categories for residential uses: <br /> low, medium, high density residential, and central business district/mixed use. These land <br /> use categories are described below. <br /> Low Density Residential: These areas are composed of detached, single-family homes. <br /> The density will be a minimum of 3 units per acre and a maximum of 5 units per acre <br /> without considering wetlands, right of way and other undevelopable land. <br /> Medium Density Residential: These areas are composed of a mixture of detached and <br /> attached single-family units. The density will range from a minimum of 3 units per acre to <br /> 15 units per acre. When developments take place through PUD or over larger land areas, <br /> higher density portions should be concentrated near major transportation corridors or <br /> neighboring areas of high-density development. <br /> High Density Residential: These areas are composed of primarily attached units in multi- <br /> story structures. The density will be a minimum of 12 units per acre and a maximum of 25 <br /> units per acre. <br /> Central Business District/Mixed-Use: These areas are composed of both residential and <br /> commercial uses, either in a horizontal or vertical mixture. The density will be a minimum <br /> of 12 units per acre and a maximum of 30 units per acre with an anticipated minimum of <br /> 25% comprised of housing. The remaining 75% shall be a variety of commercial and office <br /> Chapter 3 1 Page 12 <br /> 13 <br />
