City of Mounds View 1 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />TRAFFIC ANALYSIS ZONES <br />The City of Mounds View lies within Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ) 1692 through <br />1695, and 1701 through 1707. Potions of zones 1703 and 1695 are also within <br />adjacent cities. Figure 5-5 shows the alignment of TAZ zones and Mounds View <br />boundaries. Population, household, and employment forecasts are allocated for <br />each TAZ zone in Table 5-2. <br />The City of Mounds View is developed with few vacant parcels. New population <br />growth in each zone will be the result of residential and mixed -use redevelopment. <br />The heaviest concentration of redevelopment (i.e. population growth) is guided <br />along the Mounds View Boulevard corridor, which limits the need for road <br />improvements on local roads and better supports use of mass transit and <br />alternative modes of transportation. <br />TAZ zone 1701 is expected to see the greatest population change in the city with <br />an 80 person increase. This zone is one of the largest by geographical area and <br />includes land along Mounds View Boulevard, residential neighborhood, one of the <br />city's manufactured home parks, and large industrial parcels. Population growth <br />here could be a result of mixed -use or high -density residential development along <br />Mounds View Boulevard, or infill development in the residential neighborhoods or <br />manufactured home park. <br />The number of households is also expected to remain steady across all Mounds <br />View TAZ zones. In one zone near Long Lake Road and County Road H2, the <br />number of households is expected to drop by 10. In the other zones, the number <br />of households is expected to increase by anywhere between 10 and 30 between <br />2020 and 2040. The greatest increase is expected in a small zone between <br />Mounds View Boulevard and Spring Lake. <br />Employment numbers are expected to rise nearly across the board, with one major <br />exception. The zone that is spread between Blaine and the northeast corner of <br />Mounds View and that includes a Medtronic facility within Mounds View and <br />industrial uses within Blaine is expected to lose 100 jobs between 2020 and 2040. <br />Most zones are expected to gain somewhere between 10 and 40 jobs. The zone <br />south of Mounds View Boulevard at the southeast corner of Mounds View is <br />expected to gain 300 jobs. <br />Most growth is expected in TAZ zones adjacent to Mounds View Boulevard. <br />M0UNDTS7vVWW <br />Chapter 5: Transportation 1 5-13 <br />
