LAND USE ELEMENT 3-9Recommended Land Use Pattern and Development Criteria: The following arerecommended land use types for Urban Areas generally. Also provided are generalguidelines for development in Urban Areas.‣ Along major and minor arterials in the urban areas, convenience andgeneral commercial uses are appropriate.‣ Growth for the community should be reoriented into these areas.‣ Away from major and minor arterials, neighborhood commercial as well asconvenience commercial uses may be appropriate.‣ Access points to collector and higher classification roadways should belimited by using common access points, frontage roadways and accessmanagement techniques.‣ In areas with higher density or opportunities for the provision ofcentralized or decentralized sewage disposal systems should be exploredand required where appropriate.‣ Residential use in this area should be limited to Urban residential only withother less dense development prohibited.B. Rural VillagesIntroduction: Rural villages are small enclaves or communities that have a particularidentity and name and are scattered throughout Hardin County. Historically theywould have been identified by community facilities such as schools and churches,some small convenience commercial uses such as a general store, and a relativelydense residential pattern in the immediate vicinity of the village.Natural Features: In terms of the natural environment, rural villages often occurwhere there are streams or other sources of water. They usually have relatively flatterrain but that can change quick as you leave the village proper. Rural villages arealso often located at the intersection or crossroads of two roads serving the greaterarea.Existing Land Use: As noted above, rural villages are often marked by smallconvenience commercial uses often in a dense commercial core. Additionally ruralvillages will often have community facilities that are identified with the communitysuch as schools and churches as well as a relatively compact residential land usepattern immediately adjacent to the town center.Recommended Land Use Pattern and Development Criteria: The following arerecommended land use types for rural villages generally. Also provided are generalguidelines for development in rural villages.‣ In order to preserve the village identity and future, neighborhoodcommercial uses are encouraged.‣ Also encouraged are community facilities such as churches and schools.2008 Comprehensive Plan
LAND USE ELEMENT 3-10‣ Rural village residential development is encouraged in and closely aroundthe villages. This residential development should be encouraged to be asdense as infrastructure will allow.‣ Access points to roadways should be limited to that appropriate in a moredensely developed setting.‣ Where feasible and practical infrastructure such as decentralized sewagedisposal systems should be provided.C. Rural AreasIntroduction: Rural areas in Hardin County are located at the outer limits of theCounty, generally at points farthest away from the County’s centers of development.Rural areas are marked by low density residential development, agricultural use andsome wellhead protection areas. In general, when compared to other areas of theCounty, rural areas lack the infrastructure to support more intense development.Natural Features: The terrain is rolling in places and flat in others with some naturallimitations to development. The roadway network consists of rural local roads that,in some cases, lack sufficient pavement width to support more intense development.Soils are good for agricultural uses generally with some areas of steep slopes andwet soils and other limitations. There are also areas affected by flooding (100-yearflood plain).Existing Land Use: The existing land use pattern is marked by low density residentialuses, farming activities and other low intensity uses. There are also sporadiccommunity facility uses such as churches and schools.Recommended Land Use Pattern and Development Criteria: The following arerecommended land use types for rural areas generally. Also provided are generalguidelines for development in rural areas.‣ Residential development should be limited to rural residential and estatetype development.‣ Commercial and Industrial development within these areas should belimited to major crossroads that serve the local demand, not regional orarea-wide demand.‣ Prior to any development occurring in rural areas the roadway networkserving the particular development should meet minimum roadwaystandards as established by local regulation.‣ Community facilities are permissible based on the population and thecapacity of the infrastructure to serve the particular site.‣ Agricultural lands should be preserved and agricultural operationsprotected and encouraged by the use of various land use techniquesincluding, but not limited to, residential clustering, conservationeasements and right to farm regulations.2008 Comprehensive Plan
