Implementation The Development Guide has been described as a "cook book". The planning process has shaped a vision and development concept for the Rice Street/Little Canada Road area -- -what to cook. The supporting analysis and community input identify the ingredients of the area. The final aspect of the recipe is the instructions -- -how to combine the ingredients into the desired outcome. The implementation of the Development Guide will be both reactive and proactive. The Development Guide provides the City with a framework to react to and shape development proposals. Does the proposal meet the intent of the Guiding Principals and move towards the vision? Implementation steps create a bridge between the Development Guide as a plan and its use as a tool. Without a plan for action, there is a risk that the Development Guide will remain a concept. One of the Guiding Principals of the Development Guide is that the City of Little Canada must play an active role. To enable the City to play this role, the Development Guide contains specific implementation program. This section of the Guide describes steps to be taken by the City to achieve the objectives set forth in the Development Guide. The following implementation steps are included: •Promote the redevelopment of Market Place. •Use the Development Guide to shape the plans for the reconstruction of Little Canada Road *Acquire property needed to achieve objectives of the Development Guide •Promote additional green space adjacent to Round Lake •Create strategy for implementing proposed road changes • Decertify and Re- Establish TIF District #3 -1 •Modify Development Programs and TIF Plans for Other Related TIF Districts • Make organizational changes to encourage implementation of the Development Guide •Form public-private partnerships *Amend the zoning ordinance to serve as tool for implementation •Create and implement architectural design guidelines *Work with Roseville to meet common development objectives •Incorporate Development Guide into Comprehensive Plan •Seek legislative authority to establish special service district •Participate in Livable Communities Program •Solicit proposals from developers Each implementation step consists of four parts: rationale, actions, financial implications and time frame.
