Centerville 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />pedestrian-friendly environment. The Downtown Master Plan contains detailed plans and <br />design guidelines for these areas. <br />The areas proposed for residential growth during the planning period include medium density <br />development in the southern portion of the City on what is currently some of the last remaining <br />agricultural land, low density development east of Mill Road and north of Revoir Street, and <br />high density and mixed-use development at various locations in the City including the <br />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 (other <br />than the CBD/Mixed Use category previously described). The City will encourage clustering of <br />commercial development, as opposed to strip developments, to minimize highway access <br />concerns, to strengthen the viability and marketability of co-located services, and to minimize <br />the impacts on the natural environment of the City. <br />The existing commercial areas will continue to develop in the City, with continued expansion of <br />the current commercial area west of CSAH 21 and County Road 54, north and south of Main <br />Street. The downtown area will also be a priority in terms of retaining its vitality and importance <br />as a focal point in the community. The City will continue to implement the mixed-use concept <br />developed in the Downtown Development Guidelines, including restaurants, service uses and <br />multifamily and senior housing. The City will also evaluate the potential use of tax increment <br />financing and other public assistance programs to assist in implementing redevelopment <br />opportunities. <br />Development standards will be established for new businesses and renovations. Adequate lot <br />sizes and structure setbacks will be required to provide safe and convenient access and parking. <br />Site buffering and landscaping criteria will also be required, as well as revisions to the City's sign <br />standards to provide for the installation of more attractive and consistent signage throughout <br />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 industrial <br />development. Industrial development will be in the eastern part of the City, east of County <br /> Page 42 <br /> <br /> <br />
