Chart A <br />shows a breakdown of the 2 figures for the area west of Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. The rest of the <br />City would be the same under any of the plans so they are not currently included in any of the <br />tables. The additional property included in Figure 7 is due to the different bridge alignments and <br />the additional area that would be available for development. <br />Table A <br />Land Use Breakdown For Comprehensive <br />Figure 7 <br />Commercial/Industrial 839 Acres <br />Single Family 460 Acres <br />Mixed Residential 286 Acres <br />Totals I 1,585 Acres <br />Plan Update <br />Figure 8 <br />526 Acres <br />789 Acres <br />265 Acres <br />1,580 Acres <br />Based upon Table A the City Staff has projected the square footage created for the <br />commercial/industrial areas each figure and the number of units that could be created with the <br />acreage dedicated to each type of residential use. These figures were developed based upon the <br />following methods: <br />35% cover of each acre of commercial/industrial property <br />Three (3) single family units per acre for single family zoning <br />Seven (7) units per acre for mixed residential zoning <br />Also included on Table B is a projection of the City housing stock based upon existing and the <br />maximum number of units that could be constructed under each figure. The City has surveyed <br />other suburbs to see what their housing stock make up is or is projected to be. Generally, the <br />accepted ratio is somewhere between 30-40 percent multi -family and 60-70 percent single-family. <br />
