<br />City of Mounds View | 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />DRAFT September 21, 2020 <br /> <br /> <br />Chapter 1: Background | 1-6 <br /> <br />Figure 1-6: Suburban community designation, within the regional context <br />The now defunct Village2 established the first Planning Commission in 1959 <br />and completed the first Comprehensive Plan for Mounds View that same year. <br />The City adopted a revised comprehensive plan in 1976 in accordance with <br />the Metropolitan Land Planning Act passed by the Minnesota legislature. <br />Mounds View adopted the previous Comprehensive Plan in 2010. <br />SUBURBAN DESIGNATION <br />In Thrive MSP 2040, the Metropolitan Council has designated Mounds <br />View as a “Suburban” community. Suburban communities are those that saw <br />peak development periods as baby boomers formed families and built homes. <br />Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6 show Mounds View and surrounding cities, color <br />coded by specific community designations. <br />The Council sets an overall density expectation for development and <br />redevelopment within Suburban communities at 5 units per acre. <br /> <br /> <br />2 "Little Mounds View” included about 300 acres in the southwest corner of the township, mostly <br />owned by the Salvation Army. The area incorporated into St Anthony Village in 1958, and <br />was the last area of the township to incorporate. <br />Figure 1-5: Suburban community <br />designation, within the local context. <br />Mounds View, as a Suburban <br />community, is required to plan for <br />development and redevelopment <br />growth resulting in an average net <br />density of at least 5 units per acre. <br />Population Cohorts, 2010 Census
