Policies: Policy 1 (III -A -4): Coordinate new residential development with the provi- sion of an adequate level of services and facilities, such as sewers, water, transportation facilities, schools and parks. The Willakenzie Plan considered the projected increases in population and development in the area. Detailed analysis was conducted on storm and sanitary sewer capacities in the area to determine the adequacy of those systems; transportation systems improvements are based on the projected population increases as well as planned increases to the sup- ply and changes to the location of commercial, industrial and higher - density residential development; school and park system improvements are also based on increased demand on those systems. Policy 3 (III -A -4): Increase the supply of land zoned for low -, medium -, and high- density residential uses correlating the amount zoned with the projec- tions of demand. Supplies of medium density residential land had declined in the area in the years preceding the development of this plan. A careful analysis was conducted on the causes and extent of the decline leading to propos- als to increase the supply of medium and high density residential land to levels anticipated in the Metro Plan. Policy 12 (III -A -5): Promote compatibility between residentially zoned land and adjacent areas. The Plan contains proposals to: 1) require Planned Unit Development approval on two of the largest remaining undeveloped residential sites in the planning area; 2) require Site Review on a large undeveloped site near the city center, in part, to promote compatibility between existing and proposed uses; 3) promote compatibility between low- density and higher- density uses and to apply Site Review to parcels designated medi- um or high- density residential land when those parcels abut low- density uses; and 4) to retain existing vegetation, to the greatest extent pos- sible, to provide buffering between residential and non - residential uses, and between low and higher- density residential uses. Policy 15 ( III,A -6): Investigate and when advisable, implement mixed use zoning, particularly in established neighborhoods where compatible and func- tional mixes already exist. The Plan contains policies to encourage residential -mixed use develop- ment in three portions of the planning area. The residential -mixed use proposals are intended to result in the creation of new, more functional living /working /shopping patterns and relationships in undeveloped por- tions of the planning area. -2-
