while attached units may approach four units per acre. High density areas include attached and multiple family units, not exceeding twelve units per acre. The first areas proposed for residential growth within the timeframe of 1996-2000, as indicated in the Utility Staging map (Figure #12) are in the northeast corner of the City (north of 73rd Street), an area north of Center Street and south of Clearwater Creek, and an area between Centerville Road (extended) and CSAH 14 near Centerville Lake. AU of these areas are identified for low-medium density development, with a net density of 3.0 units per acre. A total of 230 units, including sixty multifamily units in the current MUSA, are anticipated in this timeframe. Other areas proposed by the City for future residential growth (beyond the year 2000) include low-medium density development south of Center Street and east of Peltier Lake, as well as high density development between CSAH 21 (Centerville Road) and Centerville Lake. The southernmost area of the City consists of fairly extensive floodplain areas, which place limitations on the level of future development. The development staging of these areas is depicted on Table #8 and Figure #12. The City will encourage increased use of planned unit developments (PUDs) to provide a choice of housing types within new developments. PUDs have proven to be an effective way of addressing the varied housing needs of the community. They can provide for the local townhouse, condominium and apartment market while avoiding many of the problems associated with concentrating new multifamily housing in one area. The City will review its existing PUD provisions in the Zoning Ordinance and consider changes to improve their effectiveness. The City has completed a Housing Action Plan, required in order to be eligible for funding under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act. The Plan outlines housing goals and strategies, and is intended to be periodically monitored and amended to address program opportunities, local goals and program performance or progress. Table #9 42
