regulated based on compliance will) policies adopted as part of the code. The evolution of proposed controls for Lakeville's Freeway Corridor District was also influenced by a land use intensity system developed for Overland Park, Kansas. Under this system, a technique is used to apply land use intensity ratings to the land and to establish appropriate intensities well in advance of zoning and development, with reasonable assurance that when development actually occurs, the impact on the community can be handled by the street system, utility net- works and urban services. Once Lakeville decided to try a performance oriented system of controlling development, the consultant helped the community define its development objectives for the freeway corridor. They are as follows: • Allow use of the land in the corridor • Differentiate between interim and long- term uses • Minimize public cost and provision of services (more than just sewer consider ations • Create community benefits • Achieve high quality development The community then went on to begin defining criteria for "interim" and "long- term" uses. Criteria for interim uses include: *Minimum lot size of 10 acres • No additional public service demands such as streets, sewer, police or fire protection • Demonstrated redevelopment or reuse potential • No noise abatement problems . • Compliance with comprehensive plan policies • Internal and external land use compatibility The criteria for long -term use also include compliance with plan policies and internal and external land use compatibility. Other notable criteria include: • Public sewer and water at cost of developer • Street improvements sufficient to meet needs at expense of developer • Provision of necessary noise abatement on site • Adequate valuation to suppoi t necessary public safety expansion • Contribution to the community's public fiscal balance and economic base Any use which meets these and the other criteria will be acceptable within the free way corridor. Ilnwever, the burden of proof will he on the developer. The developer will be responsible for preparing a full analysis and impact study before the city will allow the development. Such a study will likely include sewer and water engineering evalu• ations and plans; storm runoff and drainage plans; public service and revenue generation analysis; traffic studies and street improve- ment plans; market feasibility /economic base analysis; environmental compatibility evaluations; noise abatement evaluation and plans, and detailed site and architec- tural plans and specifications. To the degree possible, the community will assist and guide developers in their formula- tion and evaluation of plans. For example, Lakeville has conducted a study of freeway noise problems. The study includes possible abatement procedures which a developer could use to meet the community's devel- opment criteria. This information as well as other technical background studies will be available as a basis upon which the more detailed site plans can he prepared. While Lakeville proposes the performance approach for the freeway corridor, the remainder of the community will still use conventional zoning with specified uses, height and bulk requirements, etc. For more information on Lakeville's per- formance zoning approach, contact David Licht, Midwest Planning and Research, Inc., at 37•4600, or Patrick McGarvey, Lake - ville's city administrator, at 469 4931. INFLUX OF CIPs AND COMPREHENSIVE PLANS MAY AFFECT INFORMAL REVIEWS Council staf f has been keeping up with requests for informal comprehensive plan reviews. However, it now looks like infor- mal reviews will he difficult to schedule by this fall. With school district GIPS clue by the first of the year, and an influx of comprehensive plans expected during the fourth quarter, the Comprehensive Planning staff strongly urges any local unit wanting to take advan- tage of the informal review offer to submit its plan as soon as possible. The Council's Plan Review Manual states that informal "reviews will be performed only if there is adequate stall time available." Thus, if the crunch r.ontes, plans submitted informally later this year nny have to wait for a for mai review. 60
