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