Table 1 Current and Future (Build - out) Land Use *Estimated housing mix based on Table V - 6, subtracting mixed use areas and using only residential acres Density The policy of the plan is to develop at a minimum of three units per acre for single family development (up to four are allowed with PUD) and nine units per acre for multi- family development, 4.7 units per acre overall within the urban area. The minimum density goal is three units per gross acre, including natural features. The proposed rural density is one unit per three acres. The city's March 14, 2001, plan revisions increased multi- family housing densities and eliminated the proposed urban -rural transition area which was implementing a 1998 charter amendment that restricted densities within the MUSA to those of neighboring rural properties. The previous table shows the range of allowed densities. 10 Existing Proposed plan 2010/ revised 7/00 Housing Mix Single Family 95% 65 %* Multi- family 5% 35 %* Density Overall in MUSA 2.5 to 3 units per acre 3 units per gross acre Single family 3 units per acre Multi- family — medium Up to 7 units per acre Multi- family — high 10 to 15 units per acre Permanent rural 1 unit per 1 to 5 acres 1 unit per 3 acres overall appropriate land use designations along TH 10 to ensure the proper balance between industrial land use and housing opportunities and to take advantage of the opportunities that are identified in the Smart Growth Opportunity site study. * Mixed use includes 143 in new MUSA and 61 in existing MUSA.
