City of Little Canada 2-23 Land Use Plan District 7: South of Highway 36 District 7 is entirely south of Highway 36, both west and east of I-35. West of I-35, the district developed with a bus transit park-and-ride lot, retail and industry, self-storage and a large building for Abbott Medical. East of I-35 is a neighborhood of large-lot houses. Land Use Plan No changes in the land use plan or zoning map are presently recommended for this District. District 8: Central South East of I-35 in the northeast quadrant of the I-35 and Highway 36 re neighborhoods of detached housing, wetlands and ponds. Land Use Plan This district is fully developed, and except for the possibility that a few of the larger parcels may be split into an additional lot or two, no change is expected to this area. District 9: Little Canada Road East of I-35E Just east of I-35E along Edgerton Street is the location of the original village of Little Canada, with its mixture of institutional uses (school, fire stations, church, City Hall and parks), single- family housing and small commercial buildings. As with the rest of the City, this area is fully developed. Land Use Plan Over time, it is expected that some of the single-family housing along Little Canada Road will be redeveloped. The City will consider these requests with attention to access management and site planning, along with case-by-case environmental improvements. This area includes a complex of wetlands that drains toward Gervais Lake, the community’s major environmental and recreational resources. Consequently, maintaining water quality will continue to be an importation consideration in this and other districts. District 10: Central North Southeast of the I-35 and 694 interchange, District 10 includes a varied mixture of land uses including single-family neighborhoods of varying age, townhouses along the City’s largest park, apartment buildings, office-warehouse buildings and even a farm. The City’s public works building is located next to Pioneer park at the corner of Centerville and Labore Roads. The City has helped to upgrade some of the apartment buildings and expects to continue to do so. Resolving these issues will continue to be key in preserving property values and minimizing the costs of services that impact the community at large. Land Use Plan In the north portion of the district, an undeveloped 20 acres is divided by an electrical transmission line. The land use plan proposes to use this line as a separation between a continuation of housing to the south and office or light industry to the north near I-694.
