• • • Main Street Village page 2 Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan guides the project site for Commercial land use. The site is within a Stage 1 (pre -2010) growth area and is within the existing Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). Zoning: The site is zoned GB General Business. A PUD allows for flexibility from standard zoning requirements. The following table compares the project to standard zoning requirements. With a shopping center, normal setbacks are difficult to measure because some lots do not front on public roads, and it is difficult to determine which lot borders are the side and rear lots. Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR): This site is within the area analyzed by the I -35E Corridor AUAR. Development within the area is subject to the mitigation plan adopted with the AUAR. The mitigation includes some specific, quantified requirements, but many of the requirements are means of achieving the best results possible, depending on the site. Conservation Development Framework: The Conservation Development Framework provides the foundation for most of the conservation objectives within the AUAR area. Implementation of the Framework will: conserve the most ecologically significant natural resources within the AUAR area (in particular, the "core" and "outlier" habitats); protect ecologically significant natural resources from adjacent land uses by implementing buffering; and connect ecologically significant natural resources via multi - functional greenway corridors. The goals of the Conservation Development Framework will be pursued through a variety of methods. The maps in the AUAR provide summary information and guidance. For example, the Minnesota Land Cover Classification System map (AUAR Fig. 10 -1) shows artificial surfaces and associated areas on the sites of the bank and the old farmhouse; planted or cultivated vegetation across most of the site; and herbaceous over the larger wetland areas.
