The Update acknowledges the city’s share of the region’s <br />affordable housing need for 2011 to 2020 of 81 units. <br /> <br />Because the City is nearly fully developed, opportunities to meet the affordable <br />housing need will be addressed primarily through redevelopment. About 26 <br />acres will be available for medium density residential development, at 6 to 7 <br />units per acre, 3 acres will be available for high density residential development <br />at 10 to 17 units per acre. Approximately 15 acres will be available for medium <br />and high density residential development within the Mixed Use land use <br />category, at 6 to 17 units per acre. <br /> <br />The Update provides the implementation tools and programs the City will use to <br />address its share of the region’s housing need. The City will continue to partner <br />with county, state and federal agencies to address lifecycle and affordable <br />housing. The City will also continue to seek resources through non-profits <br />organizations such as the Rondo Community Land Trust to facilitate affordable <br />housing development. Mounds View is a participant in the Local Housing <br />Incentives program of the Livable Communities Act. <br /> <br />Individual Sewage Treatment Systems (ISTS) Program <br />Reviewer: Jim Larsen, CD – Local Planning Assistance (651-602-1159) <br />The Update indicates that the City is fully served by a municipal sanitary sewer that <br />flows into the Metropolitan Disposal System and to the Metropolitan wastewater <br />treatment facility in Saint Paul. The City has no ISTS. <br />Water Supply <br />Reviewer: Sara Bertelsen, ES – Water Supply Planning (651-602-1035) <br />The Update is consistent with the WRMPP policies for water supply. The City is <br />advised to continue to implement conservation programs targeted at reducing <br />residential water use. <br />Advisory comment: <br />The water supply plan needs to be consistent with the projections in the Update, <br />reflecting the forecast population increase of 12,900 by 2010, 13,000 by 2020 <br />and 13,400 by 2030. <br />Resource Protection <br />Historic Preservation <br />Reviewer: Tori Dupre, CD – Local Planning Assistance (651-602-1621) <br />The Update contains a section on Historic Preservation as required by the MLPA.
