Centerville 2040 Comprehensive Plan F UTURE L AND U SE C ATEGORIES The Future Land Use Plan identifies several categories to guide development and redevelopment in the City. These generally include residential uses, commercial uses, industrial uses, public and park uses, and undevelopable land such as right of way and open water. The following are descriptions of these categories. Residential Uses A primary concern for the City regarding residential uses is to protect and enhance the existing housing stock and to allow new residential developments that contain low, medium and high- density housing as appropriate. The residential areas currently served by utilities consist primarily of low-density single family detached housing. Existing available land for residential development is either contiguous with areas presently served by public utilities or is within areas guided for redevelopment such as the Downtown Area. It is assumed that public utilities will be extended to new residential development as appropriate and in a contiguous manner. The Future Land Use Plan (Map 3-2) includes four land use categories for residential uses: low, medium, high density residential, and central business district/mixed use. These land use categories are described below. Low Density Residential: These areas are composed of detached, single-family homes. The density will be a minimum of 2 units per acre and a maximum of 4 units per acre without considering wetlands, right of way and other undevelopable land. Medium Density Residential: These areas are composed of a mixture of detached and attached single-family units. The density will range from a minimum of 3 units per acre to 8 units per acre. When developments take place through PUD or over larger land areas, higher density portions should be concentrated near major transportation corridors or neighboring areas of high-density development. High Density Residential: These areas are composed of primarily attached units in multi-story structures. The density will be a minimum of 8 units per acre and a maximum of 25 units per acre. Central Business District/Mixed-Use: These areas are composed of both residential and commercial uses, either in a horizontal or vertical mixture. The density will be a minimum of 12 units per acre and a maximum of 30 units per acre with an anticipated minimum of 25% comprised of housing. The remaining 75% shall be a variety of commercial and office space. These areas provide buildings that are close to the street, with a focus on providing a Page 41
