City of Mounds View Comprehensive Plan <br /> Residential <br /> Goal 1: Preserve the identity and improve the quality and appearance of existing <br /> neighborhoods. <br /> Policies: <br /> a. High-density housing shall be located within easy access of a major thoroughfare so as to not <br /> introduce an excessive amount of vehicular traffic onto residential streets. <br /> b. A major consideration for approval or denial of any proposed multiple-family dwelling <br /> project will be its compatibility with surrounding land uses. <br /> c. High-density housing shall not be placed or utilized specifically as a buffer or use capable of <br /> absorbing negative impacts. <br /> d. Medium-density single-family attached housing may be used in transitional areas between <br /> single-family detached residential neighborhoods and high-density residential development. <br /> e. The existing character of low-density neighborhoods shall be maintained and preserved by <br /> preventing encroachment from higher use types and by buffering the neighborhoods from <br /> other types of land use. Some redevelopment of low-density uses on the fringe of these <br /> neighborhoods may be used to provide buffering. <br /> f. Consider subdivision of existing large lot single-family residential lots on a case-by-case <br /> basis to ensure development is consistent with community needs and compatible with <br /> surrounding development. <br /> g. Substandard housing shall be rehabilitated or redeveloped through private means and/or <br /> public assistance. <br /> h. Substandard housing shall be removed when it is judged not economically feasible to correct <br /> deficiencies. <br /> i. Residential amenities required by zoning and subdivision regulations shall be properly <br /> maintained. <br /> j. The housing maintenance code shall be uniformly enforced in order to protect the health and <br /> safety of occupants and ensure the ongoing stability of residential neighborhoods. <br /> 24 <br />
