facilities, two City parks and existing or planned trails, the Cleveland/Larpenteur area • <br />could become the nucleus of a new cultural and recreational hub in Falcon Heights and <br />an important element of the Larpenteur Corridor, complimenting the commercial and <br />business core at Snelling Avenue. To allow for a proposed expansion of the Gibbs <br />Museum the Public Land designation will be extended to the adjacent residential <br />property, which the Ramsey county Historical Society now owns. <br />Demand for student housing being very strong, the University has communicated a <br />possible need for additional student housing, including corporate housing, south of <br />Commonwealth Avenue on campus. In the event that any of this housing is built and <br />operated by private entities, this development could come under the City's land use <br />jurisdiction, and the City would need to create appropriate land use controls both to meet <br />the needs of the University and to ensure compatibility with the City's goals and best <br />interests. <br />Although no further change to public lands is anticipated during the time frame of this <br />plan, the City acknowledges that provision must be made if University of Minnesota or <br />State Fair plans change. The City's previous comprehensive plan called for all public <br />land not permanently reserved for public use to revert to single-family residential use if it <br />should be sold for private development. This will remain in place for most of the present <br />P 1 /R-1 district, but areas adjacent to Larpenteur will be considered for more flexible <br />uses. Also, portions of these institutional lands, such as Community Park, may be <br />candidates for permanent designation as public land. • <br />[Future land use map] <br />• <br />Assembled Elements, Draft 1 FH Comp Plan 2007 Page 16 of 42 <br />
