Mira~R--1-Low Densit~ Residential ~low densi _ty.residential places an emphasis on single- family detached housing b.ut. is designed to allow a variety of housing types and styles (life-cycle housing) including ~ .... o ....... : · ............ ~ ...... J ........ ~-~ attached single family housing (townhouses) and two-family homes (twin-homes, duplexes). This area represents approximately 2,500 acres of total land use in the community, two thirds of which have already been developed to single family housing. In order to ensure that low density mixed-housing projects can be made viable and acceptable in t~e face e, fpub!~c c~p~s~n to the communi_ty., all certain low densi_ty mixed-housing projects are intended to be the subject of a Planned Unit Development (PUD)7. Ally residential development proposal containing unit ._types other than exclusively single-.family detached housing will be required to be processed as a PUD. Individual elements (or housing types) within a PUD may range in density as long as the overall density of the PUD does not exceed a maximum of 4 units per net acre. ~'Zx~.d R ! ~'.'~/ Residential Performance Criteria: Proiects within the Mixed Residential areas as shown on the ~L~,t2x~~and Use Plan !and us~ shall ~ to the following ~ perI0rmance criteria: 1, The project is--shall be.planned as an integral dement of the larger neighborhood with interconnecting streets, pedestrian trails and greenways. 2. Higher intensity housing is-shall be planned as an integrated part of the project and may be used for buffering or transition to major roads or more intense uses. 3. Higher intensity housing kas shall have direct access to major roadways (local collectors) so excessive traffic is not routed through local streets and lower density neighborhoods. ? The Planned Unit Development is a process by which land use can be mom closely tied to design decisions during a subdivision approval process. It allows for more opportunities to preserve open space and natural features and provide a variety of housing types through greater flexibility with zoning regulations.
