<br />City of Mounds View | 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />DRAFT April 17May 3, 2019 <br /> <br /> <br />Chapter 1: Background | 1-5 <br /> <br />• Rice Creek Watershed <br />District <br />• Minnesota Department of <br />TranspirationTransportatio <br />n <br />• Minnesota Department of <br />Natural Resources <br />• Metropolitan Airports <br />Commission <br /> <br />In addition to the April 2018 public opinion survey, public participation <br />included an open house conducted during the Annual Town Hall Meeting, <br />held April 30, 2018 and April 15, 2019. The City Council conducted a Public <br />Hearing on ___________, reviewing the Draft Comprehensive Plan, directing <br />Staff to forward the Draft onto the Metropolitan Council (Resolution _____). <br /> <br />Mounds View <br />TCAAP <br />TCAAP <br />The Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant <br />(TCAAP) was located on 2,370 acres in <br />Arden Hills, adjacent to Mounds View. <br />TCAAP was established in 1941, and <br />decommissioned during the 2000’s. At <br />its height, it employed 26,000 workers. <br />In 2013, Ramsey County purchased <br />427 acres for “Rice Creek Commons”, a <br />planned mixed-use redevelopment. <br />Phased construction is planned, 2019 – <br />2039. When completedThough its <br />future is still unknown, Rice Creek <br />Commons will could be home to around <br />4,000 residents, in about 270-520 <br />single-family homes, 240-360 <br />townhomes, and 180-240 multi-family <br />units. Rice Creek Commons will could <br />additionally accommodate 159 acres of <br />commercial, retail, office and flex space <br />(extrapolated from Arden Hills <br />Comprehensive Plan, Table 6.3 and <br />7.3). <br />As the project develops, there will likely <br />be residual redevelopment within <br />Mounds View within proximity of the <br />Mounds View Boulevard and County <br />Road H intersection. along the County <br />Road H corridor. This corrido arear <br />currently consists of a mix of <br />entertainment, hospitality, and service <br />oriented businesses. <br />There will be additional demand for <br />such land uses not permitted within <br />Rice Creek Commons, such as auto <br />dealers, warehousing, and other uses <br />requiring outside storage. <br />Mounds View will also benefit as an <br />affordable alternative to the higher-end <br />homes planned in Arden Hills. Mounds <br />View neighborhoods will have a closer <br />proximity to TCAAP attractions than <br />many Arden Hills and Shoreview <br />neighborhoods.
