PARK DEVELOPMENT I I Future park development (13 acres) is not anticipated to significantly affect traffic on Hwy. 10. RURAL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT Table 10 indicates that 944 lots were in the subdivision process prior to implementation of "4 in 40" zoning. These are illustrated on Figure 6. Of these lots 339 are being developed within the MUSA (as expanded 7/89). An additional 639 lots were created by subdivisions receiving approval prior to the City's implementation of "4 in 40" zoning. The following table summarizes traffic impacts associated with the future development assuming that 90% of the lots are developed by 2010. TRAFFIC IMPACTS OF NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN R-iR DISTRICT Gross Acreage No. of Lots No. of Developed Lots @ 90% No. of Daily Vehicle Trips No. of Peak Hour Trips 65% of MUSA in Peak Hour 2,442 639 575 5,750 575 374 New residential development has the potential of increasing daily traffic on Hwy. 10 by approximately 13% (374/2990 Mn/DOT). COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT Approximately 140 acres of the 205 acre expansion are zoned industrial with an additional 30 acres zoned commercial. Approximately 49 acres of the industrial land is currently developed and approximately three acres of commercial land is currently developed. The City's zoning ordinance requires a minimum lot size of one- half acre and allows a maximum lot coverage of 35% for commercial (B-i) zoning. Industrial development in the I-1 zoning district is required .to have a one acre minimum lot size with a maximum lot coverage of 35%. Historically, however, the average lot coverage has been approximately 15% in the non-sewered area and 20% in the sewered area for both commercial and industrial development. From a theoretical standpoint, with a 35% allowable lot coverage, the MUSA expansion would have no impact on the development density, and thus would have no impact on traffic generation. 22c /53
