total land use is dedicated to industry and manufacturing.

various neighborhoods as necessary to service these neighborhoods
and are indicated on the attached map. Most institutional

Residential
land use within one mile
Nearly
all of the residential areas located within one mile of
the James E. Potvin Industrial Park are Single Family Residential
neighborhoods (R-2) and Mobile Home parks (RMH and MH).
These areas are shown on the zoning map. The single-family
residential areas consist of smaller, more modest homes
constructed on average in the 1920’s – 1950’s. The City’s
average housing density is 655 units per square mile. Slightly
over 24% of the City’s total housing stock is valued at
$50,000 or less, the majority of which is located in the
R-2, RMH and MH zones southeast of the Potvin Industrial
Park. There is a smaller R-1 neighborhood on the north
side of Lake Cadillac that is within one mile of the Potvin
Industrial Park, which is more affluent in nature, due to
its desirable location on the shore of Lake Cadillac.
