2 Main Street from 21st Avenue to 24th Avenue The City Council authorized the Northeast Development Area (NEDA) master plan in March. The study area consists of approximately 400 acres lying north and east of Main Street and 35E. The primary purpose of this study is to establish a preferred alignment for the extension of Otter Lake Road and develop a regional stormwater conveyance system. Proposed land use is being reviewed to ensure alignment options maximize development opportunities. Final alignment determination may result in recommendations for potential land use changes and key transportation links. The Board recommended the master plan extend from 21st Avenue to 24th Avenue (Elmcrest). The properties along this corridor are zoned GB, General Business, or LI, Light Industrial. Most of the properties are developed or currently under development. Owners of the remaining undeveloped parcels have prepared concept plans. Both Main Street and the interchange have been reconstructed to their ultimate configurations and no further transportation improvements are expected. The interchange is identified as a gateway in the comprehensive plan. Staff is requesting input from P&Z on what additional elements should be included for the corridor: • Is there a need for enhanced architectural standards (design overlay)? • Should the plan include development of entry way or streetscape elements? Lake and Main Intersection The proposed land use for the northwest (10 acres) and southeast (6 acres) quadrants is signature gateway. Signature Gateway allows for development of a mix of commercial and residential uses. Residential densities are allowed from 8 -15 units per acre. The current zoning on the property is a mix of GB-General Business, LI, Light Industrial in the northwest and GB and R- Rural in the southwest. Existing land uses include single family homes, retail, automotive, and service establishments. The intersection was reconstructed in 2010. Sanitary sewer and water infrastructure is available to service the area. The northwest quadrant is currently the focus of a potential redevelopment project. Staff is requesting input from P&Z on the scope and objectives of this plan should be: • Streetscaping and entry way elements? • Land use layouts? • Enhance architectural standards (design overlay)? Main Street and Sunset Main Street, east of Sunset, is an emerging residential area. Current uses are predominately agricultural with scatter large lot rural residential uses.
