Sector One Chapter 3 - Tomorrow existing uses scattered throughout the neighborhoods. Also, an area for new LDR development is shown south of Purgatory Creek. Medium Density Residential Medium Density Residential (MDR) land uses have a density range of six to twelve dwelling units per acre and may include a variety of residential types such as duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhomes, and zero lot -line homes. A variety of housing types may be allowed, as long as the overall density within a specific development or area is between six and twelve dwelling units per acre. The predominant area designated for MDR development is an area close to the downtown. Other scattered MDR areas are shown that reflect existing development. This plan identifies a large area near the downtown for MDR development. Currently this area is a mixture of single - family homes, duplexes, and small -scale apartments. This area has been identified as appropriate for continued redevelopment and infill development at densities of 6 -12 dwelling units per acre. However, it is the intent of this plan that this area should develop in a way that preserves the traditional character of the neighborhoods (see the Community Character section for more detail). High Density Residential High Density Residential (HDR) land uses are typically characterized by apartments and condominiums representing a density range greater than twelve dwelling units per acre. The only tracts of land designated HDR in Sector One are existing developments concentrated in the mixed -use neighborhood area closer to downtown (see Community Character Plan) with outlying tracts on Hopkins and Mitchell Streets. New residential development in the Sector is planned for densities less than twelve dwelling units per acre. Commercial Commercial land uses are characterized by retail, service, office, and other similar types of development. This category includes land uses such as retail stores, shopping centers, business and professional offices, medical and dental offices, hotels, auto dealerships, banks, restaurants, etc. Existing commercial area reflected on the plan include scattered neighborhood commercial sites within the existing neighborhoods, existing commercial development along Hunter Rd and Wonder World Dr, and the Wonder World theme park. The areas designated for new commercial development are concentrated in four general areas: 1) mixed -use development along MLK Dr near downtown; 2) mixed -use development at the corner of Hopkins and Bishop Streets; 3) "community commercial" development along Hunter Rd; and 4) "general commercial" development in the Wonder World Dr corridor. (See the detailed descriptions below.) Three different types of commercial development are recommended for the Sector, differing from each other based on the location and envisioned character of the development: Adopted: September 13, 2004 3 -3
