• <br /> INTRODUCTION Page 2 <br /> The purpose of this plan is to discuss strategies and programs which support the City's <br /> LAC housing activity goals to keep housing affordable, attainable and available for anyone <br /> living or wanting to live in our community. At the same time that the City is committed <br /> to adhering to housing activity goals, it must also be committed to strengthening <br /> neighborhoods, protecting the safety and health of all residents. Crime prevention efforts <br /> and enforcing housing and nuisance codes will complement the maintenance strategies and <br /> programs of St. Anthony's housing action plan. <br /> St. Anthony is a first-ring suburb that is completely developed. As such, our action plan <br /> will be addressing mostly maintenance and redevelopment issues. Our economic strategies <br /> will be those that assist residents to upgrade, remodel, renovate and, in some cases, <br /> demolish to rebuild existing housing. In adopting this strategy, we will need to manage <br /> redevelopment as opposed to other communities where managing growth is a priority. By <br /> taking an active role in housing redevelopment, the City can better provide a "mix of life- <br /> cycle and affordable housing" as envisioned by the Metropolitan Council's Regional <br /> Blueprint. At the same time, the "mix" will be one that preserves the community and <br /> exemplifies the historical, cultural and environmental characteristics of St. Anthony. <br /> • St. Anthony City Index Benchmark Goal <br /> Affordabilit Ownership 77% 77-87% 77-87% <br /> y <br /> Rental 45% 45-50% 45-50% <br /> Life Cycle Non-single 49% 33-41% 33-41% <br /> family detached <br /> Owner/Rental 61% / 39% 64-75%/25-36% 64-75%/25- <br /> Mix 36% <br /> Density Single Family 3.2/acre 2.3 - 2.9/acre 2.3 - 3.2/acre <br /> Detached <br /> • <br />
