assumption that undeveloped land would develop at the same density as adjacent properties. Urban Reserve: This planning area consisted of land outside of the 2000 MUSA line but within the City's designated urban area. Land use controls at the time the 1991 plan was completed required a minimum lot size of 10 acres in an attempt to limit the subdivision of land until the MUSA line was extended into the urban reserve area. Sewer flow in this area was calculated based on densities similar to the MUSA lands except that development potential was restricted by existing plats with large lots. Rural Transition: This planning area consisted of land within the Metroplitan Waste Control Commission's Sewer Service District number 3 boundary (land south of Trott Brook) but outside of the City's designated urban area. At the time of the 1991 plan, there were no plans to extend sewer into this area. However, the plan did note that long range planning recognized the potential for sewer service to this area and therefore major facilities had been sized accordingly. Projected land use in the rural transition area was based on the following assumptions: • Existing one -acre lots could be split in two. • 2 '/2 to 5-acre lots could be subdivided into three parcels. • Parcels larger than 5-acres could be subdivided with a density of 2.5 units per acre. Rural: This planning area consisted of the land north of Trott Brook. The 1991 Comprehensive Sewer Plan considered this area to be permanently unsewered. D. CURRENT PLANNING Chapter 5, Land Use, of the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan provides the current land use planning and related assumptions. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (Amendment 11-02) is included as Item G in the Appendix. This also shows the proposed 2030 MUSA boundary. The land use plan is intended to guide the future development of the community. As such, it provides the basis for projecting future sanitary sewer flows.
