Ramsey Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br />December 2~, ~ _~99 ~raji <br /> <br />Urban/Rural Residential Transition area shall be the subject of a <br />PUD. <br /> <br />Urban/Rural Residential Transition Performance Criteria: <br />Projects within the Urban/Rural Residential Transition area as <br />shown on the Future Land Use Plan shall be evaluated on the <br />basis of the following performance criteria: <br /> <br />1. New development that is adjacent to existing single-family <br /> detached development shall be compatible in density and. <br /> type with existing and planned development. New residential <br /> development shalt place single-family detached lots directly <br /> abutting existing singIe-family detached lots. Furthermore, <br /> in such eases, unit types within 1000 feet of the boundaries <br /> of existing single-family detached neighborhoods shall <br /> reflect a density transition from single-family to higher <br /> density residential uses. The density transition' shall be <br /> consistent with the intent of the Ramsey Charter and shall be <br /> approved by the City. <br />2. Traffic generated by new development shall be routed to <br /> collector streets rather than through adjacent local <br /> neighborhood streets. <br />3. Where possible and practical, parkland and open space shall <br /> be situated to act as a buffer between future and existing <br /> development. <br />4. Natural features shall be incorporated into the project for the <br /> benefit of the project, the adjacent community and the <br /> community-at-large.. <br /> <br />Urban Residential Policy <br />It is the policy of the City to: <br /> <br />Require Low Density Residential and' Urban/Rural <br />Residential Transition developments except those that are <br />exclusively single-family detached units are to be completed <br />through a planned unit development. <br /> <br />Require the placement of new single-family detached <br />housing immediately abutting existing single-family <br />detached homes. <br /> <br />Periodically review the planned unit development section of <br />the zoning ordinance to ensure appropriate guidelines and. <br />rules for development of land within the residential areas. <br /> <br />Encourage scattered site affordable housing developments as <br />part of each residential housing project rather than <br />segregating affordable housing in one project. <br /> <br />.Page ?-19 <br /> <br />261 <br /> <br /> <br />
