Presented By: Mark Hulsey |Managing Broker |651.256.7404 |mark@resultscommercial.com LITTLE CANADA PUD ZONING: This Ordinance is established to provide comprehensive procedures and standards designed for both district and conditional use permit planned unit development to allow the development of neighborhoods or portions thereof incorporating a variety of residential types and non-residential uses. Recognizing that traditional density, bulk, setbacks, use and subdivision regulations which may be useful in protecting the character of substantially developed areas may be inappropriate to control development in less developed areas. Land Use Plan At Rice Street and Little Canada Road, the City has taken an active redevelopment role in reclaiming a series of long-standing underutilized properties for higher end mixed use development. This process is ongoing, and follows an extensive redevelopment plan that was done expressly for this area. Retail uses dominate in most areas, with attached residential development in some areas. Office uses also comprise some parts of the district. The entire area has been zoned “PUD” to permit a more extensive City role in regulating building style, site use, and land uses. Mixed use redevelopment may be appropriate in some areas of District 3 where residential uses can compatibly coexist with the dominant commercial land use. The City’s primary focus will be in enhancing the commercial viability of this area, and may consider some residential where it complements this objective. One example of the City’s activity in this District has been the acquisition of properties along the north side of Round Lake. Parcels have been acquired over time, with improvements to public spaces along the lake, including stormwater improvements that serve the entire area. Two homes are still located in this area that would complete this effort. The northern-most portion of this district along Rice Street may benefit f rom redevelopment as well, and the City has expressed a willingness to permit certain low-impact industrial uses in portions of the district that have little exposure. Such uses would need to be limited to those which can compatibly coexist with the retail focus of the area For further information regarding PUD, please visit: https://www.littlecanadamn.org/DocumentCenter/View/413/923-PUDpdf-PDF?bidId= https://www.littlecanadamn.org/DocumentCenter/View/433/915-Planned-Unit-Development-Overlay-District-PDF?bidId= https://www.littlecanadamn.org/DocumentCenter/View/185/Part-3-Land-Use-Plan-PDF?bidId= S E C T I O N 1 / P A G E 7 2750 RICE STREET LITTLE CANADA, MN 55113 ZONING - PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD)
