Larger rural residential lots exist to the <br />east and to the southeast along Carl Street. <br />Comprehensive Plan and Housing Density <br />The 157 acre site has multiple land use designations per the City's 2040 Comprehensive <br />Plan creating somewhat of a checkerboard patterned look. These land uses include low <br />density, medium density, high density and planned residential/commercial. <br />Per the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the site is located in Planning District 2 and includes <br />Planned Residential/Commercial areas. The Comprehensive Plan states: <br />oo "Planning District 2 includes Planned Residential/Commercial areas. <br />o The Robinson Farm and Main Street site is planned to accommodate an <br />80/20 percent mix of residential and commercial. While allowed in all <br />areas, commercial development will be required in at least one quadrant. <br />To ensure implementation the City may choose to rezone land to a <br />compatible neighborhood commercial zoning district upon completion of a <br />corridor plan. A Master Plan for the Main Street Corridor between Sunset <br />Avenue and 4th Avenue should be completed." <br />It is important to note the 80/20 percent mix is related only to the approximate 40 acres of <br />land guided for Planned Residential Commercial. The Robinson Farm and Main Street <br />site referenced in the Comprehensive Plan includes property on both the north and south <br />side of Main Street. The subject site for this PUD Concept Plan proposal is only on the <br />south side of Main Street and would not necessarily require a commercial component. <br />The following chart summarizes the site's general density range per gross and net acres: <br />
