Chester Master-Planned Development District

This district is intended to provide for master-planned residential or mixed-use development on sites at appropriate locations as identified in the Chester/Stevensville Community Plan. The district provides for a flexible development concept, good site design, architectural integration in the configuration and style of buildings, functional open space and required public facilities as part of a unified and coherent plan of development. Permitted uses generally include a variety of housing types, institutional uses and nonresidential uses that can be compatibly integrated within the development.; The CMPD District is created where public utilities water and sewer and infrastructure roads, walkways, and hike/bike trails may be extended and interconnected with existing and planned public utilities and infrastructure. New development of parcels should be accomplished in a way to integrate approved residential uses with commercial and institutional uses of a size and scale designed to provide needed and appropriate services to the Chester community. Infrastructure improvements relating to roads and trails are important and should follow the recommendations made in the transportation element of the Chester/Stevensville Community Plan.
