Centerville 2040 Chapter 3: Land Use <br /> CHAPTER I LAND USE <br /> AND �JSE <br /> The Land Use Chapter identifies the specific land use categories and strategies for future <br /> growth and redevelopment in Centerville. The land use categories are the framework upon <br /> which the official controls, such as the zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations, are <br /> based. The plan elements contain the regulatory concepts for residential growth, commercial <br /> and industrial development and environmental protection. The plan elements and land use <br /> planning decisions are based on Goals and Policies developed during the Comprehensive <br /> Plan update process. It is the goal of the City of Centerville to: <br /> • Create a logical and orderly transition from agricultural to non-agricultural land uses. <br /> • Establish a future land use plan that contains compatible land use patterns. <br /> • Establish land use patterns which protect natural amenities and avoid environmental <br /> constraints. <br /> • Establish phased growth areas which reflect City priorities for development staging <br /> and contiguous, planned extensions of public infrastructure. <br /> • Utilize the City's design guidelines for development within the Mixed Use/Central <br /> Business District. <br /> • Enhance the character of individual neighborhoods and the sense of overall <br /> community identity. <br /> • Expand the commercial/industrial tax base and employment opportunities in the City. <br /> Policies reflect the position of the City on the specific implementation of the Goals. It is the <br /> policy of the City of Centerville to: <br /> • Identify a long range land use plan which incorporates community goals. <br /> • Establish roadway and trail corridors which link neighborhoods, parks, business <br /> centers and other community facilities together as well as amenities in adjacent <br /> communities. <br /> • Identify land which is suitable for commercial development and is accessible to <br /> existing and planned roadways and compatible with existing and planned land uses. <br /> • Limit development to areas identified with utility capability or staged according to <br /> growth sequencing plans. <br /> • Prohibit residential development with private utilities in areas included in the long <br /> range public utility service area. <br /> • Require all subdivisions to adhere to long range plans for thoroughfares, trails, parks <br /> and utility corridors to ensure continuity of development patterns and implementation <br /> of community priorities. <br /> Chapter 3 1 Page 1 <br /> 2 <br />
