Centerville 2040 Chapter 3: Land Use <br /> space. These areas provide buildings that are close to the street, with a focus on providing <br /> a pedestrian-friendly environment. The Downtown Master Plan contains detailed plans <br /> and design guidelines for these areas. <br /> The areas proposed for residential growth during the planning period include medium <br /> density development in the southern portion of the City on what is currently some of the <br /> last remaining agricultural land, low density development east of Mill Road and north of <br /> Revoir Street, and high density and mixed-use development at various locations in the <br /> City including the downtown redevelopment area. <br /> Commercial Uses <br /> The Future Land Use Plan identifies appropriate locations for commercial uses and future <br /> development opportunities. There is one land use category for commercial development <br /> (other than the CBD/Mixed Use category previously described). The City will encourage <br /> clustering of commercial development, as opposed to strip developments, to minimize <br /> highway access concerns, to strengthen the viability and marketability of co-located <br /> services, and to minimize the impacts on the natural environment of the City. <br /> The existing commercial areas will continue to develop in the City, with continued <br /> expansion of the current commercial area west of CSAH 21 and County Road 54, north <br /> and south of Main Street. The downtown area will also be a priority in terms of retaining <br /> its vitality and importance as a focal point in the community. The City will continue to <br /> implement the mixed-use concept developed in the Downtown Development Guidelines, <br /> including restaurants, service uses and multifamily and senior housing. The City will also <br /> evaluate the potential use of tax increment financing and other public assistance <br /> programs to assist in implementing redevelopment opportunities. <br /> Development standards will be established for new businesses and renovations. <br /> Adequate lot sizes and structure setbacks will be required to provide safe and convenient <br /> access and parking. Site buffering and landscaping criteria will also be required, as well as <br /> revisions to the City's sign standards to provide for the installation of more attractive and <br /> consistent signage throughout the City. <br /> Industrial Uses <br /> The Future Land Use Plan also identifies appropriate locations for industrial uses and future <br /> industrial development opportunities in the City. There is one land use category for <br /> industrial development. Industrial development will be in the eastern part of the City, east <br /> of County Road 54 and south of CSAH 14. There are several existing businesses in the <br /> industrial park, primarily related to manufacturing, building contracting, and transportation. <br /> Chapter 3 1 Page 13 <br /> 14 <br />
