City of Mounds View Section 9 Redevelopment Plan, Highway 10 Corridor 4110 March 24, 1997 A. PROJECT BACKGROUND A Proactive Vision for Redevelopment The City of Mounds View has created a vision for Section 9 of the Highway 10 corridor. The vision that has been articulated in the Section 9 Redevelopment Plan, Highway 10 Corridor (the Section 9 Redevelopment Plan), includes a well planned, economically sound corridor abundant with new opportunities. The Section 9 Redevelopment Plan presents opportunities for the City's Economic Development Commission (EDC) and its Economic Development Authority (EDA) to promote the redevelopment of underutilized properties and to encourage new investment on vacant properties. This plan also puts forth recommendations as to ways in which the City can create an aesthetically pleasing corridor, accommodating pedestrians and vehicles alike, in a context of mixed land uses and natural amenities. The EDC and EDA have chosen to be proactive and prepare a framework planning document that will guide them in public policy decisions affecting corridor redevelopment. City leaders have recognized the potentials within the Highway 10 corridor and that changes occurring along and adjacent that roadway will define a strong character for Mounds View — a character that says community, vitality and economic well-being. Plan Intent The intent of the Section 9 Redevelopment Plan is to: • Put forth clear objectives and strategies that will guide the development and redevelopment of Section 9 of the Highway 10 corridor in Mounds View in a manner consistent with the City's goals and visions; • Identify possible future land uses and configurations that are consistent with the goals of the City, that generate revenue through an expanded tax base and that respond to market demands for goods, services and housing; • Provide direction in the selection and placement of design elements and landscape treatments within the Highway 10 corridor that can be carried beyond Section 9 to the • balance of the Highway 10 corridor within Mounds view;
