Item.6V' Land Use Objective 1- Upon adoption of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan, the City will review existing zoning districts for compatibility with the City's Future Land Use Plan and assign zoning that supports the adopted land use, where possible. The Future Land Use Plan was developed to be more generalized than the 2000 Comprehensive Plan and should provide enough flexibility to utilize many of the existing zoning districts. The following districts are expected to remain largely intact: " Rural Residential zoning districts (RR, RR2, RR-UR, RR1) are expected to remain consistent with the current zoning ordinance and map, with some exceptions. The primary area that will be changed is the RR-UR (Urban Reserve) area north of Trunk Highway 55 (TH 55), which area will require zoning to support urbanization according to the Future Land Use Plan. " Suburban Residential, Urban Residential, and Multi -Family Residential zoning districts will be reviewed and additional levels of designation added to support the Future Land Use Plan, which identifies three classifications of urban residential: Low, Medium and High. Current zoning designations will be updated to support the density ranges adopted by this Comprehensive Plan. " Business Park zoning designation will support the Future Land Use Plan which has re - guided land along the TH 55 corridor for increased mixed -use and residential uses. Further distinction between Commercial, Business Park and a potential Neighborhood Commercial designation will be reviewed along TH 55 because critical city infrastructure influences development throughout the community. " Uptown Hamel zoning district designation will be reviewed to accommodate mixed - uses within the district. If the Uptown Hamel district does not develop as presently planned, it will need to be eliminated and revised to address the Mixed -Use Business designation adopted in the Future Land Use Plan. " All zoning districts will be reviewed to ensure consistency of each district with the Future Land Use Plan and for compliance with the goals and aspirations of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan. V' Land Use Objective 2 - Revise the zoning ordinance to add new districts or modify definitions as required, after completion of Land Use Objective No. 1 listed herein. Adoption of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan will require the creation of zoning districts that are not currently in the City's zoning ordinance including the following: " Mixed -Use land use designations are designed to allow greater flexibility to both the City and a developer to respond to market conditions while still maintaining a balanced land use pattern. The development of mixed -use zoning will need to include a minimum of two districts to address vertically integrated mixed use (Mixed -Use Business), where residential space is above the commercial space, and lateral mixed use (Mixed -Use) where commercial and residential building exist together in the zoning district. The Mixed -Use land use designation dictates that a minimum of fifty percent of a " wen . ro . er will include a residential com . onent, whereas as well as increased density.
