The Plan should foster the establishment of a concentrated urban development
pattern, with land outside the planned urban area being designated exclusively
for Agriculture.
New urban development should occur in an orderly manner with initial
development occurring on the available undeveloped properties within
the City’s limits which would be considered in-fill, by-passed parcels or in parcels
in close proximity to the urban core, places of employment and established
neighborhoods.
The City should promote and provide urban services to development within the
City as a means of controlling and directing growth.
Initial development shall incorporate the necessary infrastructure to
accommodate future development for the surrounding area consistent with the
goals and objectives of the GPU. Reimbursement agreements or other
mechanisms may be provided to the developer as a means to share the
equitable burden of costs.
Provide transitional design between land use types and high quality urban uses.
The City shall encourage in-fill projects that incorporate pedestrian-oriented
design.
The City shall propose plan areas and zone districts that can accommodate
mixed use planning that will provide a combination of residential, commercial
services and employment opportunities all within close proximity.
From the adoption date of this GPU, the City shall annex a maximum of five
hundred(500) acres from within the existing SOI (@1,797-acres). Only when a
Farmland Preservation Program is adopted for implementation shall the City
propose additional lands for orderly annexation. The Farmland Preservation
Program is discussed in great detail in Section 4.3 Agriculture.
2.6 SMART GROWTH/SUSTAINABILITY
Table 2.3 is a consistency matrix to guide and ensure orderly development over the planning
horizon. This matrix creates the linkage between planned land use designation and regulatory
zone district designation. This table will also be used to guide future decision-making as the
physical environment and development patterns changes over time which warrant a review of
the appropriateness of an assigned planned land use or zone district designation.
