The RDF goals and policies for “Developed” communities state that the role of such communities is to accommodate growth forecasts through reinvestment at appropriate densities (five-plus units per acre) and target higher density at locations with convenient access to transportation corridors and with adequate sanitary sewer capacity. The Council expects the City to meet densities of at least five units an acre through redevelopment and infill. To help ensure that these standards are met, the Council advises the City to participate in Council activities to monitor development. The existing land use shows that the City is 2,075 acres in size and reflects three primary land uses: residential, commercial and industrial. The majority of the City’s housing stock is owner-occupied, single-family (52%). The housing stock is older, with 62 percent built before 1970, and 87 percent before 1980. The City has 5,267 dwelling units as of 2008 and reported 106 residential building permits through 2008 totaling 5,373 units, just under the 2010 household forecast of 5,400. The land use table shows two significant land use changes from 2000 to 2010: a decrease in parks and open space acres, and an increase in office and commercial acres. This reflects two large developments: first, the 2006 Medtronic corporate campus north of Highway 10 that added over 1 million square feet of office space, replacing a municipal golf course; and second, the 2006 SYSCO expansion that added commercial use, replacing passive open space. The future land use indicates that residential development will continue to be the primary land use, and new housing development will occur as redevelopment. The City’s land use plan and table reflect increased residential uses, and a new mixed use category. However, the residential and mixed use categories intended to accommodate the 2010 to 2030 household growth are limited to about 30 acres. Future growth in identified residential and mixed use areas may accommodate approximately 390 new units, less than the system statement 2010 to 2030
