City of Mounds View Comprehensive Plan ________________________________________________________________________ 39 Office Uses There is a very limited number of pure office uses in Mounds View. Office uses are typically found in light industrial business park buildings. Existing office uses are small one story professional buildings. Additional office buildings could be an important way to expand the City’s tax base and provide additional high quality jobs with potentially less impact on adjacent neighborhoods and roadways than with commercial uses. Industrial Uses The primary industrial area in Mounds View is located in the southeast corner of the City generally in the area of the intersection of County Highway 10 and Interstate 35W. The Mounds View Business Park provides a major portion of the industrial uses in the community. The business park is developed with the exception of a site on County Highway 10 at the west end of the business park which is projected for a future building expansion. In addition there are vacant sites and single family residential uses at the southwest quadrant of the intersection of County Highway 10 and Woodale Drive where future business park expansion could occur. Redevelopment of older industrial and commercial buildings along the north side of County Road H west of County Highway 10 for light industrial use should also be considered. Long term future industrial expansion should also be considered for the current Townsedge Terrace Manufactured Home Park and the adjacent Skyline Motel site along Old Highway 8. Land Uses Map Changes No land use plan map designation changes are proposed for a vast majority of the community that would change future land use. Some change to certain land use designation titles and definitions have been made to standardize land use designations in communities which are part of the North Metro I 35W Corridor Coalition. Appendix B on page 116 shows the parcels where land use designation changes are proposed and describes the proposed changes by parcel. Interim Uses Existing uses that were permitted at the time they were constructed in areas designated for future redevelopment shall be allowed to be continue and be maintained. It is not the intent of this plan to force people to move but to guide future usage of property when property owners decide to redevelop their property. Comprehensive Plan / Zoning Compatibility Table 9 on page 40 shows the zoning districts that are compatible with the various comprehensive plan land use designations.
