SECTION 6. The City Council of the City of Lake Elmo hereby amends Title XV: Land Usage; Chapter 154: Zoning Ordinance, by adding the following language: Article 10 - URBAN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS 5154.450 Purpose and District Descriptions 5154.451 Permitted and Conditional Uses 5155.452 Lot Dimensions and Building Bulk Requirements 5155.453 Dimensional Requirements and Preservation of Open Space 5155.455 Site Design and Development Standards 5155.456 Accessory Uses and Structures 5155.457 Residential Accessory Structures 5155.458 Accessory Uses 5155.459 Accessory Uses and Structures Not Listed §154.450 Purpose. The urban residential districts are established to provide areas for residential development that are served by public sewer and water services in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The objectives of these districts are to preserve and enhance the quality of living in residential neighborhoods, to regulate structures and uses which may affect the character or desirability of residential areas, to encourage a variety of dwelling types and locations and a range of population densities consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and to ensure adequate light, air, privacy and open space. The residential districts and their purposes are as follows: A. LDR Urban Low Density Residential District. The LDR district provides an environment of predominantly single-family dwellings on moderately sized lots, and is designed to be the most restrictive of the urban residential districts. The LDR district is intended to provide areas for lower density residential development within the City's planned sewered development areas, and may be used to provide a transition between rural development areas and the City's urban development and districts. Densities shall range from two (2) to four (4) units per acre; however, the overall density for a specific development area must be consistent with the net densities specified in the Comprehensive Plan. The lot size and other district standards allow for the creation of smaller lots with the expectation that common open space will be provided within developments that exceed the base densities (at low end of the land use density range) within the Comprehensive Plan. 19
