Chapter 6: Implementation Measures and Strategies | 27Otter Lake Road Master Plan Land Use Land use and zoning amendments should occur with development of the study area to match the future land use and zoning map. As development applications are received, or if the City prefers to be proactive and initiate these changes prior to development, the following amendments must occur: • All properties currently zoned as Rural Business Reserve should be rezoned to LI (Light Industrial), the new Business Campus district, or the City could create a new flexible district that incorporates uses that the City wishes to attract in this area. • With the exception of the current commercial land use district on the south end of the study area, the land use for all remaining land in the study area should be amended to Business Campus to provide for the high-quality, integrated development of a wide range of business uses at high visibility locations. • High density residential uses should be considered for locations within the study area. The location of this type of use would be adjacent to 24th Avenue and immediately north of the commercial land uses on the south end of the study area or on the northwest corner of the northernmost proposed intersection of Otter Lake Road and 24th Avenue North. A comprehensive land use amendment and rezoning would be required to implement the housing in the study area. • The City will be required to process land use amendments with the Metropolitan Council in order to accommodate the land uses suggested in this Master Plan. This can be done proactively before development occurs, or at the time of development of each parcel.

The completion of the master planning of the area allows for the sites to be bordering on shovel ready for potential projects. The City will be working with the property owners and potential developers on the identification of funding sources to help mitigate the effects of the costs of development. These may include funding from the Department of Employment and Economic Development, Federal EDA and other governmental agencies. As the sites move closer to availability for development, the City will use their traditional marketing strategies to promote the area for development. In addition, the City will be working with the Minnesota Technology Corridor on the promotion of the sites to expand the reach of potential development partners.
