• <br /> • <br /> Planning Commission <br /> 471-97: O'Neil Property <br /> March 8, 1997 <br /> Page 5 <br /> office, or townhomes. The issue ranked as most important in the 1988 Comprehensive Plan <br /> Update, based on a series of Planning Commission workshops, was: <br /> "The function of Trunk Highway 10 needs to be determined e.g.,strip commercial corridor, <br /> community commercial district,highway service district,subregional commercial center,or <br /> residential district." <br /> Suffice it to say, the future development of the Highway 10 corridor including the O'Neil <br /> property, has been under discussion for an extended time. <br /> Discussion of Request: <br /> The question before the Planning Commission is whether the Comprehensive Plan, which is <br /> intended to guide future development of the City, should be amended to change the expectations <br /> for the O'Neil property from residential to commercial uses. In particular, the proposal is for an <br /> entertainment-type commercial use (movie theaters) and offices. <br /> il The property is situated between an existing single family residential neighborhood and Highway <br /> 10, which carries approximately 40,000 trips per day. Highway 10 is the only commercial <br /> corridor in Mounds View. Other than scattered neighborhood businesses, all commercial <br /> properties are along this roadway. The O'Neil property is the largest undeveloped piece of land <br /> in single ownership on Highway 10. It is a significant property, and offers a range of <br /> opportunities for the community. <br /> The current Comprehensive Plan indicates that it should be developed as medium density <br /> residential, which the plan indicates is 3-6 units per acre. This density range is equivalent to single <br /> family homes. There are several issues related to this designation. <br /> 1. Need to Buffer: The current designation provides an important buffer between the <br /> existing single family residential neighborhood to the south and the Highway 10 corridor, <br /> by extending the same type of development onto this parcel. It appears the intent was to <br /> tie the O'Neil parcel to the existing residential area. Under this approach, it is to be <br /> expected that the development would be oriented away from the highway. It is staff's <br /> view that the reason there has been"debate" about the designation on the O'Neil property <br /> since 1979 is that it is sitting between the highway corridor and a single family <br /> neighborhood. There have been shifts back and forth between using the highway and <br /> using the adjacent neighborhood as the key to the future use of the parcel. Whenever a <br /> change in designation has been considered, it has either been to townhouses (i.e. <br /> residential), campus style office development (considered low intensity enough to be <br /> III compatible with residential) or commercial development with a buffer area of residential <br /> along County Road H2. The idea of retaining a buffer area appears to be the reasoning <br /> behind the zoning designations of B-1 and R-2 as well. The 1979 Comprehensive Plan <br />
