In general, a slight decrease in residential uses and a slight increase in the amount of commercial and industrial uses are being proposed. The text that follows outlines and describes each major general land use category. Residential Uses Residential development will continue to be the primary type of land use in Mounds View. The established residential land use pattern should be maintained and enhanced to provide a quality environment for all density conditions and for all housing types. Within this context, low-density single-family detached neighborhoods are to be preserved. However, in order to provide additional housing opportunities and to ensure environmental quality, medium-density single-family attached housing should be introduced to provide a transition between these neighborhoods and existing or new higher intensity multifamily or commercial uses. This should be done in appropriate areas through redevelopment of individual parcels or through larger mixed use planned unit developments.
