The City of Northfield’s land use principles are statements of intent that describe the direction of future development, redevelopment, and land intensification in the community. These principles will help guide the City on how to use its limited land resources efficiently and effectively to continue to foster a high quality community with a strong economy and distinct sense of place. The land use principles should be used as a guide to help the City in evaluating future growth. Policy decisions, capital improvements, and development applications should consider the land use principles, and support their intent.

The City of Northfield’s land use principles are statements of intent that describe the direction of future development, redevelopment, and land intensification in the community. These principles will help guide the City on how to use its limited land resources efficiently and effectively to continue to foster a high quality community with a strong economy and distinct sense of place.

The land use principles should be used as a guide to help the City in evaluating future growth. Policy decisions, capital

improvements, and development applications should consider the land use principles, and support their intent. If a project, program or policy does not support the principles it should be

re-evaluated and made consistent with the intent of the principles.

The principles reflect a variety of land use topics and themes. They focus on the quality, pattern, character and organization of development. Outlined below are the principle statements: 1. The small town character will be enhanced. 2. The natural environment will be protected, enhanced and better

integrated in the community. 3. The preference for accommodating future growth is in infill

locations, then redevelopment/land intensification opportunities, and then on the edge of existing developed areas.

4. New and redeveloped residential communities (areas) will have strong neighborhood qualities.

5. Environmentally-sensitive and sustainable practices will be integrated into new developments and redeveloped areas.

6. Places with a mix of uses that are distinctive and contribute to increasing the city’s overall vitality are preferred.

7. Neighborhood-serving commercial will be small scale and integrated with the residential context.

8. A wider range of housing choices will be encouraged – in the community as well as in neighborhoods.

9. Rural character of certain areas of the community will be protected. 10. Streets will create an attractive public realm and be exceptional

places for people. 11. Places will be better connected, in part to improve the function of the street network and also to

better serve neighborhoods. 12. Opportunities will be created to walk and bike throughout the community.
