City of Mounds View Staff Report May 9, 1997 Page 6 . Not adopted. ■ 1993-1994: Mounds View Focus 2000 Implementation Plan, prepared in September 1994, included the following goal: Create a redevelopment plan for Highway 10 as a community oriented boulevard. The 1994 Action Steps included: Create a Highway 10 Redevelopment Task Force or related task force under the Economic Development Authority to develop a long range strategic plan for the redevelopment of Highway 10. Complete an inventory of properties along Highway 10,noting zoning,use,activity,and property condition. Evaluate long and short term uses and recommend changes. ■ 1994-1995: The Highway 10 Redevelopment Plan prepared by a task force with representatives from the Economic Development Commission, Planning Commission and Parks and Recreation Commission, and forwarded to City Council. The task force recommended that the O'Neil property be developed as light commercial use such as a • corporate headquarter/office campus setting or townhomes. In summary, the designation in the adopted Comprehensive Plan for the O'Neil property is medium density residential. This designation is 18 years old. Since 1979, consideration has been given to retaining the medium density residential designation, and to changing it to highway commercial, mixed use low and medium density residential, office park, corporate headquarters office, or townhomes. The issue ranked as most important in the 1988 Comprehensive Plan Update, based on a series of Planning Commission workshops, was: "The function of Trunk Highway 10 needs to be determined e.g.,strip commercial corridor, community commercial district,highway service district,subregional commercial center,or residential district." Suffice it to say, the future development of the Highway 10 corridor including the O'Neil property, has been under discussion for an extended time. •
