Centerville 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />for industrial development. Industrial development will be in the eastern part of the City, <br />east of County Road 54 and south of CSAH 14. There are several existing businesses in <br />the industrial park, primarily related to manufacturing, building contracting, and <br />transportation. <br />Centerville has an active Economic Development Commission which has completed the <br />Star City program. The Commission will examine the feasibility of establishing community <br />participation and financial incentives for economic development, such as tax increment <br />financing. Proximity to I-35E, land availability, public utilities and expanding labor markets <br />enhance the opportunities for development potential in the next 10-20 years. Financial <br />assistance, active marketing, and general development may be a prerequisite for <br />maximum opportunities. <br />The City currently has provisions within the existing zoning ordinance related to industrial <br />uses. These provisions will be reviewed to determine if changes are needed to more <br />effectively manage industrial development activities in the future. Adequate lot sizes and <br />structure setbacks will be required to provide safe and convenient access and parking. <br />Site buffering, landscaping and design criteria will also be evaluated. <br />Z ONING D ISTRICTS <br />In additional to land use designations the City currently has the following adopted zoning <br />designations. A copy of the City’s zoning map (Map 10-1) can be found in chapter 10, <br />implementation. Following adoption by the City and approval by the Metropolitan <br />Council, the City will within 9 months, update its zoning district densities to be consistent <br />with land use designation densities and reconcile property zoning designations to be <br />consistent with land use designations. The following are descriptions of the existing <br />zoning designations. <br />R1 - Rural Residential:The purpose of the R-1 district is to allow agricultural activities and <br />nonsewered residential dwellings as interim uses. <br />R2 - Single Family Residential:The purpose of the R2 district is to provide for lower <br />density traditional single-family detached dwelling opportunities where public utilities are <br />available and required for service. <br />R2A – High Density Single Family Residential: The purpose of the R2A district is to <br />provide for higher-density single family detached, attached, and multiple family dwelling <br />opportunities where public utilities are available and required for service. <br /> Page 43 <br /> <br /> <br />
