Centerville 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />F UTURE L AND U SE C ATEGORIES <br />The Future Land Use Plan identifies several categories to guide development and <br />redevelopment in the City. These generally include residential uses, commercial uses, <br />industrial uses, public and park uses, and undevelopable land such as right of way and <br />open water. The following are descriptions of these categories. <br />A primary concern for the City regarding residential uses is to protect and enhance the <br />existing housing stock and to allow new residential developments that contain low, <br />medium and high-density housing as appropriate. The residential areas currently served <br />by utilities consist primarily of low density single family detached housing. Existing <br />available land for residential development is either contiguous with areas presently <br />served by public utilities or is within areas guided for redevelopment such as the <br />Downtown Area. It is assumed that public utilities will be extended to new residential <br />development as appropriate and in a contiguous manner. <br />The Future Land Use Plan (Map 3-2) includes four land use categories for residential <br />uses: low, medium, high density residential, and central business district/mixed use. <br />These land use categories are described below. <br />Low Density Residential: These areas are composed of detached, single-family homes. <br />The density will be a minimum of 3 units per acre and a maximum of 5 units per acre <br />without considering wetlands, right of way and other undevelopable land. <br />MediumDensityResidential:These areas are composed of a mixture of detached and <br />attached single-family units. The density will range from a minimum of 3 units per acre <br />to 15 units per acre. When developments take place through PUD or over larger land <br />areas, higher density portions should be concentrated near major transportation <br />corridors or neighboring areas of high-density development. <br />High Density Residential:These areas are composed of primarily attached units in multi- <br />story structures. The density will be a minimum of 12 units per acre and a maximum of <br />25 units per acre. <br />Central Business District/Mixed-Use:These areas are composed of both residential and <br />commercial uses, either in a horizontal or vertical mixture. The density will be a minimum <br />of 12 units per acre and a maximum of 30 units per acre with an anticipated minimum <br /> Page 41 <br /> <br /> <br />
