Multi-family and <br />attached single-family housing would be appropriate, on a limited basis, near Highway 49, <br />Highway 24/27, and at the I485 interchange with Rocky River Road. These higher density <br />housing projects should be well designed and be incorporated into mixed-use projects that offer <br />diverse housing types as well as retail, office, and employment uses. <br /> <br /> The area plan offers two single-family residential districts and one multi-family and <br />single-family attached district. The Suburban Residential district and the Open Space <br /> <br />Preservation district are -the area plan's single-family <br />districts and take up most of the land in the planning <br />area. The Suburban Residential district is located <br />north of Rocky River Road in the Town of <br />Harrisburg's current utility service area and south of <br />Highway 24/27 near that area's future employment <br />district. Housing densities of 2 to 4 units per acre are <br />appropriate in the Suburban Residential district. The <br />Open Space Preservation district is located between <br />Rocky River Road and Highway 24/27. This district <br />requires a minimum open space reservation of thirty <br />percent and a maximum density of 1.5 units per gross <br />acre. The Mixed Residential district provides an <br />opportunity for stand-alone multi-family or attached <br />single-family housing projects. <br />Harrisburg. <br /> <br />IExample of development in an Open <br />Space Preservation District. <br /> <br />This district is found on a limited basis along Highway 49 in <br /> <br /> Other districts that allow for single-family, multi-family, and single-family attached <br />housing include the Town Center and Village Mixed-Use districts and on a limited basis the <br />Future Employment district.
