Sewered <br />Resid. <br />R -1X, Single Family <br />Executive <br />Comprehensive Plan: The site is within a Stage 1 (pre -2010) growth area and is <br />within the existing Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The Comprehensive Plan <br />guides the project site for Mixed Use development. <br />The comprehensive plan creates seven planning districts across the city that include <br />recommendations for the specified areas. The project site is within planning district four, <br />which includes the following relevant recommendations: <br />4. Unsewered residential neighborhoods shall be maintained as long term and <br />uses. Extension of sanitary sewer into unsewered subdivisions will occur only at <br />the request of the private property owners. <br />7. When considering new development, the ability of the street system to <br />accommodate additional traffic will be evaluated. <br />10. The commercial land uses within District 4 are located near major street <br />intersections. The commercial locations are oriented to serving the nearby <br />neighborhoods. In this respect, the City will regulate future commercial <br />development to control land use intensity and establish both site and building <br />designs that will be compatible with the surrounding residential uses. Attention <br />will be given to site design, building architecture, green space, setbacks, access, <br />signage and lighting to create attractive commercial locations. <br />12. The City will work to establish a hierarchy of streets to improve traffic circulation <br />throughout District 4. Street planning efforts will include: <br />b. Maintain Hodgson Road and County Road J as "A" minor arterial streets. <br />With this functional classification, the right -of -way width and roadway design <br />should promote traffic movement and limit direct site access. <br />13. Implement the City Park Plan to locate and develop a comprehensive park and <br />trail system within District 4. <br />• <br />• <br />
