Growth Management
Strategy 2 B:
Moderate the pace of development with the City's ability to bring revenue sources (mainly jobs/income tax) Into balance with population growth.
The pace and amount of residential development directly affect the City's ability to provide needed services and facilities. Hudson should
moderate development in an effort to create a fiscally stable community, At a one percent annual growth rate Hudson could expect buildout of vacant residential land in 15 to 20 years. If growth rates returned to pre-growth control levels, residential build-out could occur in as little as five years. These scenarios should be examined when considering the City revenues in the future.
Priority: A Time Frame: Short Term
General Responsibility: City
Growth Management Objective 3:
Coordinate land use patterns and City infrastructure with the
rate of growth.
As the Hudson population continues to grow, additional land will be consumed with development placing a demand on the City's infrastructure and services. New growth should be organized in a compact land use pattern that is compatible with and enhances the existing land use pattern and infrastructure.
Strategy 3 A:
Coordinate with other governmental bodies and service providers (e.g. school district, water utilities, and park board) to ensure consistency with overall growth management policies.
The City should cooperate with other governmental bodies on growth issues to guarantee new development will be adequately served by the City's utilities and services.
Priority: B Time Frame: Ongoing
General Responsibility: City, Hudson School District
Strategy 3 B:
Maintain mixed-use zoning techniques and standards that recognize the changing
composition of modern corporate office/industrial parks.
To complement the economic development and land use objectives and strategies outlined in the Plan, the City will encourage new office and industrial growth through zoning changes and the Land Development Code.
Priority: B Time Frame: Ongoing
General Responsibility: City, Land Development Code
Strategy 3 C:
Make the City of Hudson's boundaries and the Hudson School District boundaries
contiguous.
Although it is very difficult to change school district boundaries, the City and the school district should work closely together to achieve boundaries that are contiguous.
Priority: C Time Frame: Long Term
