City of Mounds View | 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 3: Housing | 3-2 • Coordinate with manufactured home communities on ways to improve their neighborhoods and longevity of private infrastructure. Implementation of Housing goals and policies will focus on enforcement of property maintenance codes, crime reduction, preservation of urban forests, coordination with Ramsey County and service providers to help residents with financial and health concerns, and encourage rehabilitation and preservation of naturally occurring affordable housing, including reducing stormwater inflow & infiltration at manufactured home parks. Affordable Housing goals are most likely to be accomplished through redevelopment along the Boulevard, with inclusion of affordable and market-rate units. This is dependent upon the flexibility afforded by the Mixed Use zoning district, allowing increased density standards. The City will adopt a Fair Housing Policy and/or plan. Currently, the City informally implements practices without a coordinated plan. EXISTING STOCK Mounds View was predominantly developed in the 1950’s through 1970’s. One-level homes, split-levels, and rambler homes are typical in this city as they are in the surrounding cities. Manufactured homes provide a significant percentage of housing units in the city and are located in three manufactured home parks. There are also a number of senior housing and multi-family units built from the late 1960’s through the 2000’s. The farmhouses that were built prior to 1930 and that are still standing are scattered throughout town. Figure 3-1 shows the time period in which each house in the city was built.
