• • • SPECIAL COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 19, 2002 b. Commercial/Industrial: A total of 74 MUSA reserve acres is designated for C/I development. These C/I MUSA acres can be granted at any time prior to year 2010. There is no annual limit for C/I MUSA. 5. The goal for new growth in the city is an average of 147 new housing units per year. This includes all residential growth: both within the existing MUSA and in areas that would need MUSA reserve. While this is the target, it is an annual average. 6. No single development project should be awarded an entire year's number new housing units. This requirement is intended to: a. avoid or minimize potential monopoly price effects b. promote timely development: one project often will not be able to build all 147 in one year c. promote housing diversity d. avoid inefficient concentration of infrastructure expansionthat could impede financial return on investments elsewhere in the city e. distribute and minimize potential negative impactpf development f. promote fairness by distributing growth among several projects while observing the goal for new growth 7. At the discretion of the City Council, the annual targets for new growth (units/year) and residential MUSA reserve allocation (i�cres/year) may be exceeded by 20% or more to accommodate a specific project.:+ari � the project will promote a clearly identified public purpose. Exceeding tb.MUSA reserve target will necessitate reducing MUSA allocation for future years: to stay within overall growth goals. The public purpose may include but isnot limited to: a) provision of housing unit vanet that,, ontributes toward meeting housing goals, such as medium density, high-density, and mixed-use developments in locations designated for thh to the comprehensive plan b) provision of infrastructure needed to serve a larger area, in accordance with City transportation, sewer,' -or water plans, that is not financially feasible without allowing the project to exceed the target c) preservation of environmental features that would not occur without allowing the project to exceed the target d) provision of tax revenue that would not occur without allowing the project to exceed the target 8. Use of Stage 2 MUSA reserve acres prior to year 2010 shall require amendment of the comprehensive plan.
