Page 3-17 of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan details the City's Growth Management Strategy. The strategy works in conjunction with the City's utility staging plan. The City will plan to accommodate an annual average of 230 units per year over each 5-year phasing period not to exceed 345 units in any one year. From 2010 to 2024, the City's average annual number of units is 123. This is less than the allowed 230 unit annual allocation. With existing projects underway the project will be phased over multiple years to meet growth management requirements.

The R, Rural zoning is a holding district until municipal water and sanitary sewer are available to the site and the property owner is interested in having the property developed. The property will be rezoned to PUD, Planned Unit Development in order to implement the Signature Gateway land use and allow for multi -family development in the shoreland district, zoning flexibility and create a mixed used development.

Multi- family apartments are only allowed in the shoreland district by PUD. City Code Section 1102.13 details additional Shoreland Planned Unit Development (PUD) requirements. These are detailed below and throughout this staff report. Impervious Surface Coverage Maximum allowed townhome impervious coverage is 35% and commercial/multi-family is 60%. Per Sheet AO-12, Land Use & Density Plan, the total aggregate impervious coverage is 24.6%, which is less than the minimum 35% allowed.
