Mixed Use Areas Guidance and Recommendations West Side of I -35E A 370 -acre development site is located 1/4 mile north of Main Street, between I -35E and CSAH 21 (20th Ave.). This site is to be developed with commercial and residential uses. The concept plan for the development includes 500,000 to 600,000 square feet of commercial space on 70 acres of the site. A variety of single family and multi - family residential development will include a maximum of 1150 dwelling units. The net residential density shall not exceed 4.5 units per acre, with no less than 2/3 of the residential area reserved for low density residential development, when including all land not within the commercial area. Said low density area may include a variety of housing types (both detached and attached units) provided that the density does not exceed 3.0 units per acre. There will be significant open space as well. While these are the approximate use parameters, the specifics of development in this area are to be part of a master plan using a planned unit development approach. In the northeast corner of the site, a triangle is formed by I -35E, a pipeline, and the property boundary. This area could be designed to accommodate an office campus type use, which could be a suitable land use along the freeway. This would reduce the amount of residential land noted above and increase the commercial land. Such flexibility is appropriate to accommodate what will be determined as the best use of the triangle area. This site is included in the I -35E Corridor Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) environmental analysis. Development must comply with the mitigation plan that forms a part of the AUAR, which includes the Conservation Development Framework as the fundamental precept for all development within the AUAR area. • •
