Item No: 05 Meeting Date: May 6, 2019 Type of Business: WS City Administrator Review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Jon Sevald, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Review of the Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan Discussion: Staff will provide a brief update of the Comprehensive Plan, and discuss the Mixed -Use designation on the Future Land Use Map. Update: A joint work session was held on April 23, 2019 between the City Council, Comprehensive Plan Taskforce, and all advisory commissions. The group reviewed the Future Land Use Map, and Goals and Policy statements. The group submitted comments and edits to Jon, who with Stantec are editing the plan. The intent was to review these edits at the May 6th Council Work Session and request consent to distribute the Plan to affected jurisdictions for a mandatory 6- month review, but Staff is still working on edits. Mixed -Use designation: The Mixed Use designation is intended to obtain a 60% residential and 40% commercial mix. The mix is not intended to occur on the same property or the same development, but within the same Mixed -Use area. For discussion, Staff is lumping these areas into two groups: East: Mounds View Blvd, between Co Rd H2 and Woodale Dr. 24-acre area, includes Crossroad Pointe, Bel Rae and land east, Rydel Auto, and Bio- Life. The 60/40 split would look similar to if all residential south of Mounds View Blvd, and all commercial north of the Boulevard (similar to current land use). West: Mounds View Blvd, between Spring Lake Rd and Sunnyside Rd. 13.4-acre area, including the Boulevard apartments, Steve's Appliance, Muscle Gym, Simon's, Tires N'More, and a few residential properties. The 60/40 split would be 8 acres of residential, and 5.4 acres of commercial. It could look similar to as if Steve's Appliance and the Muscle Gym area are commercial, and all else is residential. During the April 23rd discussion, it was not clear to Staff if the group understood the 60/40 commitment, that once 60% of the area fills with residential (e.g. area east of Bel Rae), the remainder must be commercial (Rydel Auto & Bio-Life vacant lot). Under this scenario, the City would turn down any prospective residential projects, once the 60% is filled. The intent of this discussion is to clarify the 60/40 commitment of adopting the proposed Mixed - Use designation.
