3-20 New Brighton Comprehensive Plan | 2040 DRAFT eXIStING LaND USe Table 3-1, identifies existing land uses within the City, the overall acreage devoted to the land use types, and the percent total of the City each land use represents. Please note that all acreages are “net” meaning arterial rights-of-way, water bodies, wetlands, and public parks have already been removed. Residential New Brighton is primarily a residential community with 1,850 acres (33% of its land area) devoted to housing. Only 4% of the City’s land is occupied by multi-family units, which suggest that the City is overwhelmingly a single-family community. The present densities for existing (built) single-family housing generally range from 2 to 4 units per acre. Multi-family housing ranges from a density of 6 units per acre to more than 12 units per acre in some places. And notably, the City of New Brighton has a total of 362 manufactured homes within two (2) manufactured home parks covering just over 46 acres (density of 7.7 units per acre). There will not be a significant change in land area committed to residential uses except within the Old Highway 8 corridor where redevelopment offers opportunities to increase lifecycle housing as part of future mixed-use developments. Beyond that, changes in residential use areas will largely be limited to infill housing on individual lots and maximization of under-developed parcels. Table 3-1.
