Attachment B Future Land Use Framework Full Name Summary Description LR Low Density Density: 1.5-8 du/acre Low-density residential land uses include single-family detached houses generally Residential Uses: Single and Two-Family Residential with a density between 1.5 and four units per acre and two-family attached houses Scale/intensity: small generally with a density of no more than eight units per acre. Institutional uses such Transportation considerations: sidewalks as schools and places of worship are also permitted here. MR Medium Density: 5-12 du/acre Medium-density residential land uses include single-family attached housing types Density Uses: Condominiums, Townhomes, such as triplex, quadruplex, row houses, side-by-side townhouses, back-to-back Residential duplexes, row houses, small lot detached townhouses, mansion townhouses, and small-lot detached houses, generally with a homes density greater than five units per acre up to 12 units per acre. Institutional uses Scale/intensity: medium such as schools and places of worship are also permitted here. Transportation considerations: sidewalks, trails HR High Density Density: 13-36 du/acre High-density residential land uses include multifamily housing types including Residential Uses: Apartments, lofts, stacked apartments, lofts, flats, and stacked townhouses, generally with a density greater townhomes than 12 units per acre. Institutional uses such as schools and places of worship are Scale/intensity: medium-high also permitted here. Transportation considerations: sidewalks, connections to transit, multi-modal facilities MU-1 Neighborhood Density: 5-12 du/acre Neighborhood Centers are located on important neighborhood thoroughfares with Mixed Use Uses: Medium density residential, uses will be organized into a cohesive neighborhood “node”. These areas will commercial, office, civic, parks and open incorporate a mixture of commercial and residential uses, with commercial uses space preferable at block corners. Residential uses should generally have a density Scale/intensity: small-medium between five and 12 units per acre and should account for approximately 50-75% of Transportation considerations: sidewalks, the overall mixed-use area. connections between neighborhoods and businesses, connections to transit stops Buildings shall be scaled appropriately to the surrounding neighborhood, reflecting a low-to-mid-rise profile. Commercial uses should be oriented toward pedestrians and the sidewalk. Commercial uses should be designed to minimize negative impacts adjacent residential neighborhoods while maintaining connections with sidewalks or trails. This is the most restrictive mixed use area in terms of intensity and is intended for application in areas adjacent to low-density residential areas. Development will be limited in height to correspond to the surrounding neighborhood character. MU-2 Community Density: 10-36 du/acre Community Mixed Use areas are intended to contain a mix of complementary uses Mixed Use Uses: Medium-high density residential, that may include housing, office, civic, commercial, park, and open space uses. commercial, office, civic, parks and open Community Mixed Use areas organize uses into a cohesive district, neighborhood, space or corridor, connecting uses in common structures and with sidewalks and trails, Scale/intensity: medium and using density, structured parking, shared parking, and other approaches to Transportation considerations: sidewalks, create green space and public places within the areas. The mix of land uses may multi-modal facilities, connections include Medium- and High-Density Residential, Office, Community Business, between uses, connections to transit stops Institutional, and Parks and Open Space uses. Residential land uses will account for at least 25% of the overall mixed-use area. The mix of uses may be in a common site, development area, or building. Individual developments may consist of a mix of two or more complementary uses that are compatible and connected to surrounding land-use patterns. To ensure that the desired mix of uses and connections are achieved, a more detailed small-area plan, master plan, and/or area-specific design principles is required to guide individual developments within the overall mixed-use area. MU-3 Corridor Density: 13-36 du/acre Corridor Mixed Use areas are located along major transportation corridors in the Mixed Use Uses: High density residential, City. Corridor Mixed Use areas may include a wide range of uses from shopping commercial, office, civic, parks and open centers to freestanding businesses and institutions to high-density residential space developments. High density residential uses are encouraged in these areas. Scale/intensity: medium-high Transportation considerations: strong Corridor Mixed Use areas promote the redevelopment of aging strip centers and emphasis on pedestrian, transit and bicycle underutilized commercial sites in a manner that integrates shopping, employment, access and connections between uses. services, places to live and/or public gathering spaces. Corridor Mixed Use areas should have a strong orientation to pedestrian, transit and bicycle access to the area and movement within the area. Residential uses, generally with a density greater than 13 units per acre, may be located in Corridor Mixed Use areas as part of mixed-use buildings with allowable business uses on the ground floor or as standalone buildings with well-designed infrastructure connecting them to the surrounding area. MU-4 Core Mixed Density: 20-36 du/acre Core Mixed Use areas are located in places with visibility and access from the Use Uses: High density residential, regional highway system (Interstate 35W and State Highway 36). Core Mixed Use commercial, office, shopping centers. areas include large-footprint commercial development, shopping centers, large- Scale/intensity: high scale institutions, office buildings, high density residential uses, and other uses that Transportation considerations: access to generate more traffic, noise, and intensity than other mixed use districts. Public transit, multi-modal facilities and plazas and green infrastructure connections should be designed into the Core connections, preserved pedestrian and Mixed Use District. High density residential land uses of at least twenty units per bicycle access in high vehicular traffic acre are highly encouraged in these areas. Residential development should be well- areas, access to commercial areas from connected to and accessible from the surrounding commercial uses by those residential uses and transit hubs. travelling without a car. Structures found in Core Mixed Use areas are higher in bulk than other mixed use districts and are at a scale appropriate to their proximity to highways and major thoroughfares. Core Mixed Use areas should be well-served by existing or planned transit, and pedestrian and bicycle access both to and between areas in this district is strongly encouraged. The scale of this district requires inter-district connectivity and multi-modal access. Limits to surface parking are encouraged.
