CURRENT GOALS AND POLICIES <br /> IV. RESIDENTIAL PLAN <br /> A. INTRODUCTION <br /> The residential development growth trend is expected to continue beyond the year <br /> 2000. The City recognizes a need for orderly development of a variety of residential <br /> opportunities. Orderly development will enhance the opportunity for cost effective <br /> provisions of municipal services. <br /> B. GOALS <br /> The following is a summary of the City's goals and objectives as they relate to residential <br /> development. <br /> 1. GOAL: Encourage the development of a quality residential community which <br /> retains a semi-rural atmosphere while accommodating growing housing needs. <br /> POLICIES: <br /> • Guide the type and location of development to achieve an orderly develop- <br /> ment pattern consistent with the semi-rural character of the community. <br /> • Continue the low-density residential development pattern through the use of <br /> open space areas and the designation of buffer areas between non-compatible <br /> land uses. <br /> •Encourage a mix in housing opportunities in terms of costs and size while en- <br /> coura ing a high degree of architectural and site planning integrity of the City. <br /> •Provide for, in appropriate circumstances, a Planned Unit Development <br /> (PUD) approach which, through the use of site design standards, allows for <br /> compatible residential, commercial, and industrial development. <br />
