LOW-MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (1-7 DU/AC) <br /> The Low-Medium Density Residential category is intended for predominantly single-family <br /> detached residential development. Residential densities of up to seven dwelling units per acre <br /> are typical of this category. In general these areas are quiet residential single-family <br /> neighborhoods but in some areas a mix of single-family, duplexes and townhouses would also <br /> be appropriate. This designation may also include such supporting land uses as neighborhood <br /> shops and services, parks and recreation areas, religious institutions, and schools. A full range <br /> of urban services and infrastructure is required. The Low-Medium Density Residential category <br /> would also allow residential development as described for the Very Low Density Residential <br /> category. Permitted only in Impact Zone 3 & 6, however, not within the 60 LDN noise contour, <br /> unless accompanied by a holistic land use plan to protect the long-term operations of the <br /> Airport. <br /> MEDIUM-HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (8-32 DU/AC) <br /> The Medium-High Density Residential category may include duplexes, manufactured and <br /> modular homes, apartments, town homes, and other forms of attached or detached housing on <br /> smaller lots. The density range for this category is 8 to 32 dwelling units per acre. This category <br /> may also include such supporting land uses as neighborhood shops and services, parks and <br /> recreation areas, religious institutions, and schools. A full range of urban services and <br /> infrastructure is required. The Medium-High Density Residential category would also allow <br /> residential development as described for the Low-Medium Density and Very Low Density <br /> Residential categories. <br /> MIXED-USE <br /> Mixed-Use areas are generally located at an existing or anticipated circulation nexus and/or <br /> placed between higher intensity uses and adjoining residential land uses. The Mixed-Use <br /> designation is intended to be compatible with the surrounding area while providing a mix of <br /> commercial, employment, public and residential uses. It is anticipated that these areas will <br /> support neighborhood oriented commercial uses and may include master-planned and <br /> developed mixed communities intended to replicate the traditional downtown mixture of <br /> commercial and residential uses of all density categories. Residential uses are permitted, but <br /> subject to density and buffering standards set out by the overlying zoning districts. Commercial <br /> uses are permitted in Impact Zones 2 through 6. New residential uses are permitted only in <br /> Impact Zone 6, however, not within the 60 LDN noise contour, unless accompanied by a holistic <br /> land use plan to protect the long-term operations of the Airport. <br /> C. Open Space and Wildlife Habitat <br /> C.1 Support ranching to the extent desired by the ranch owners so that their lifestyle and the <br /> rural character that it affords may continue in proximity to evolving development. <br /> Examples include providing buffering around development that adjoins ranchland, and <br /> by providing shared cattle/wildlife roadway underpasses wherever feasible. <br /> C.2 Utilize the 100-year flood limit of Granite Creek Wash, other lesser drainages, and <br /> adjacent areas to create a multi-purpose greenbelt(s) that supports stormwater drainage, <br /> passive recreation, wildlife movement corridors and habitat, and community character. <br /> Area jurisdictions should negotiate with applicable property owners to obtain and expand <br /> these wildlife friendly open spaces as requests for zoning entitlements, annexation, <br /> water allocations and central services are received. <br /> 25 <br />
