City of Mounds View 1 2040 Comprehensive Plan DRAFT September 21, 2020 The now defunct Village established the first Planning Commission in 1959 and completed the first Comprehensive Plan for Mounds View that same year. The City adopted a revised comprehensive plan in 1976 in accordance with the Metropolitan Land Planning Act passed by the Minnesota legislature. Mounds View adopted the previous Comprehensive Plan in 2010. SUBURBAN DESIGNATION In Thrive MSP 2040, the Metropolitan Council has designated Mounds View as a "Suburban" community. Suburban communities are those that saw peak development periods as baby boomers formed families and built homes. Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6 show Mounds View and surrounding cities, color coded by specific community designations. The Council sets an overall density expectation for development and redevelopment within Suburban communities at 5 units per acre. 1 ti • � � ffp j -RAMS E� -P6 i I i MSHINGTON RV Eft 4-S COTT DAK0 TA - Figure 1-6: Suburban community designation, within the regional context 2 "Little Mounds View" included about 300 acres in the southwest corner of the township, mostly owned by the Salvation Army.
