City of Mounds View 1 2040 Comprehensive Plan DRAFT September 21, 2020 include fourplexes, apartments, cooperatives and condominiums. Density expectations for this category are from 5 to 15 units per acre.2 Manufactured Housing Park includes land under single ownership that has been planned and improved for the placement of mobile/manufactured housing for dwelling purposes. Also includes land that has been planned, improved and subdivided for the placement of mobile/manufactured housing for dwelling purposes. The density expectation for this category is from 1 to 8 units per acre.' COMMERCIAL ZZ The commercial guide designations have been streamlined. The previous 2030 Update included four commercial designations and one commercial planned unit development (PUD) designation. This 2040 Update includes two commercial designations and one office designation. Neighborhood Commercial is intended for those commercial uses which are compatible within a residential neighborhood. Historically, retail businesses in these locations have struggled, and many of them sit vacant or have uses such as offices, which are not location dependent. General Commercial is intended for retail and service businesses, often which are auto dependent. Examples may include retail, restaurants, entertainment, and gas stations. This category is a consolidation of the 2030 Plan's Community Commercial, Regional Commercial PUD, and Highway Commercial. Office is intended for offices and ancillary uses. An example is the Medtronic complex, consisting of offices, laboratories, daycares, and other services intended for those office employees. In R-3 zoning district (e.g. 4+ unit townhomes) (2018), the density = 10.6 units per acre (e.g. Pleasant View Townhomes, SW corner of Mounds View Blvd & Groveland Rd). ' There are three manufactured housing parks. Colonel Village is 7.66 units per acre; Mounds View Manufactured Home Park is 7.78 units per acre, and Townsedge Terrace Manufactured Home Park is 6.92 units per acre. MOMD-S VIEW The Corner Store As neighborhoods grew, retail grocery and convenience stores have come and gone: • Simon's Market (1946—mid 1980 ) • B & R Groceries (1958— 1972) • Fedor's (1961— 2016) • Unknown name (?— 1965) • Tom Thumb / Sam's Food Market / Snap Market (1973— 2016) • Penny's Market / Country Club (1974 — 1992) • 7 Eleven / Super America (1973 — 1992) • Walgreens (2001 — present) • Snyder's (2005 — 2010) • CVS (2004 — present) • Aldi (2007—present) Competition with gas station convenience stores and supermarkets in neighboring cities have contributed to local store closures. Today, many of these former stores have been repurposed for meat processing, liquor sales, offices, and warehouses. Property owners and city staff have struggled to identify compatible reuses.
