Most of the portion of the site to be developed for home sites is within the existing <br />Metropolitan Urban Service Area, though an additional three acres of MUSA is needed. <br />The City has ample MUSA reserve to be allocated. <br />c. The comprehensive plan supports the greenway concept. <br />d. The project implements the Parks, Natural Open Space/Greenways and Trails System <br />Plan, which is part of the Comprehensive Plan, by creating a conservation development <br />to provide an important segment of a larger greenway. <br />4.

Single family <br />residential development exists to the east and north, and development of this site would be an <br />extension of that northern neighborhood. Land to the west is guided for future residential <br />development. Development cannot occur to the south due to extensive wetlands. <br />5. By its very nature, a conservation development PUD creates a design and performance <br />standards tailored to the site itself. Some specific performance standards are listed in the <br />- 4 9 - <br />
