MEMORANDUM DATE: March 5, 1995 TO: City Council Ryan Schroeder, City Administrator Steven Jankowski, City Engineer Sylvia Frolik, Zoning Administrator Steve Schwanke, RLK Associates Bill Smith, Biko Associates FROM: James Gromberg, Economic Development Coordinator RE: Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update I have completed the attached comparative table of the two (2) possible figures presented by the Planning and Economic Development Commissions for the updated Land Use Plan. Chart A shows a breakdown of the 2 figures for the area west of Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. The rest of the City would be the same under any of the plans so they are not currently included in any of the tables. The additional property included in Figure 7 is due to the different bridge alignments and the additional area that would be available for development.

These figures were developed based upon the following methods: 35% cover of each acre of commercial/industrial property Three (3) single family units per acre for single family zoning Seven (7) units per acre for mixed residential zoning Also included on Table B is a projection of the City housing stock based upon existing and the maximum number of units that could be constructed under each figure. The City has surveyed other suburbs to see what their housing stock make up is or is projected to be. Generally, the accepted ratio is somewhere between 30-40 percent mixed residential and 60-70 percent single- family.
