of the Corridor as experienced from an automobile and as a pedestrian. Private improvements would appear to be guided by a common vision and work together to make the Corridor a positive and unique entrance to Burnsville. THE BENEFIT(To be added) E. CITY OF APPLY VALLEY LAND USE STUDY (information taken from Land Use Study Final Staff Report May 17, 1989) THE PROJECT The Staff Report consists of recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council regarding the conflicts along the city's 415 acre corridor between Pennock Avenue on the west and Garrett Avenue on the east. The study of potential land uses within the corridor included a review of the soils, vegetation, utilities, street systems, topography, existing land use, zoning, and comprehensive plan designations. Within the 415 acres of the corridor, Apple Valley identified 10 separate areas where the zoning and the comprehensive plan were not consistent. As is the case for Mounds View, the residential districts in Apple Valley included some type of detailed landscaping and buffering along the corridor right-of-way to reduce sight and sound of the freeway and to create a more appealing entrance into the community. THE BENEFITS • If allowed to developed to the fullest extent of the zoning code, over 250,000 square feet of retail and/or limited business office space could be developed within the corridor. • It is anticipated that any of the three proposals (comprehensive plan, or zoning as per staff recommendations) would generate between $53 million and $58 million in new development. • Utilizing the largest development amount, it is estimated that approximately $1.5 million in new property taxes would be districted to the School District, whereas approximately $375,000 (25%) would be distributed to the County for its services. The remaining $300,000 (21%) would be distributed to the City to pay for the services it provides. 13
