<br />26 <br /> <br />the area, financial impediments are great. The City has expressed a willingness to assist <br />financially, if possible, but only in a project that would resolve the many issues related to current <br />site and building conditions. <br /> <br />The north and east portions of District 2 has some of the same soil problems, but due to extensive <br />exposure to the 694/35-E interchange area, has seen a higher level of development, with recent <br />redevelopment occurring on some properties. The City’s goals in this area are to continue this <br />redevelopment pattern, with land uses to include large-scale commercial activities including office, <br />office-showroom, office-warehouse, and other compatible uses. Retail uses may be appropriate <br />but will be judged carefully due to concerns with access from Rice Street to the west, or Little <br />Canada Road to the south. <br /> <br />District 3 <br /> <br />At Rice Street and Little Canada Road, the City has taken an active redevelopment role in <br />reclaiming a series of long-standing underutilized properties for higher end mixed use <br />development. This process is ongoing and follows an extensive redevelopment plan that was done <br />expressly for this area. Retail uses dominate in most areas, with attached residential development <br />in some areas. Office uses also comprise some parts of the district. The entire area has been zoned <br />“PUD” to permit a more extensive City role in regulating building style, site use, and land uses. <br /> <br />The northern-most portion of this district along Rice Street may benefit from redevelopment as <br />well, and the City has expressed a willingness to permit certain low-impact industrial uses in <br />portions of the district that have little exposure. Such uses would need to be limited to those which <br />can compatibly coexist with the retail focus of the area. <br /> <br />The Market Place, a suburban shopping center, has seen a series of rehab projects, and continues <br />to provide space for retail uses, although visibility has raised some issues for retail viability over <br />the years. For the near term, no significant changes are foreseen for this portion of the district, <br />however, in the long term, a more intensive mixed-use redevelopment would fit well with other <br />newer projects. <br /> <br />District 4 <br /> <br />The southeast corner of the community is dominated by commercial uses along Rice Street, <br />including revitalized commercial areas near the Rice Street/TH 36 interchange, and in stitutional <br />uses including a school property and the corporate campus site for Abbott. There is a limited <br />amount of residential use in this district, including a small twin home development, and a mobile <br />home community which is zoned for eventual commercial uses. With the ongoing development <br />of the Abbott campus, this area is also fully developed. <br /> <br />The primary development issue in this district relates to the eventual reconstruction of the Rice/TH <br />36 interchange, the Rice Street/County Road B2 intersection, and traffic capacity improvements <br />to Rice Street itself. These projects are the subject of discussions between the local communities <br />and Ramsey County, but are not expected to impact the City’s proposed land uses in the area. As <br />a related early component of these improvements, the City has been instrumental in the
