going dialogue with communities to consider any changes in growth trends or community <br /> expectations about growth that may have an impact on regional systems. <br /> Forecast of population, households and employment: <br /> Revised Develo ment Framework <br /> 1990 2000 2010 2020 2030 <br /> Population 7,727 8,012 9,150 9,400 10,000 <br /> Households 3,453 3,697 4,000 4,300 4,600 <br /> Employment 1 3,650 1 3,382 4,350 5,000 5,450 <br /> The Council forecasts growth at appropriate densities for communities in order to protect <br /> the efficiency of wastewater, transportation and other regional system investments, and to <br /> help ensure the metropolitan area can accommodate its projected growth by the year <br /> 2030. <br /> Growth management. <br /> The Regional Development Framework sets an overall minimum residential density <br /> standard of 3 to 5 units per acre in developed and developing areas where urban service is <br /> located or planned. The average minimum standard of 3 units per acre is important to the <br /> efficient use of regional systems, including wastewater system investments. Communities <br /> that significantly over-utilize or under-utilize regional systems can cause inefficiencies in <br /> the use of regional resources. Additionally, achieving housing at these density levels may <br /> help communities meet their obligations under the Metropolitan Land Planning Act to <br /> plan for and address their housing needs. <br /> Geographic planning area. <br /> The city of St. Anthony is designated as a"developed community" geographic planning <br /> area in the 2030 Regional Development Framework. Geographic planning areas are <br /> shown on the 2030 Planning Area map. The planning area sets overall densities that the <br /> planned development patterns in your community can be expected to achieve. (If there <br /> are discrepancies between the 2030 Framework Planning Area map, and the metropolitan <br /> systems plans because of adjustments that occurred subsequent to the adoption of the <br /> 2030 Regional Development Framework document, communities should follow the <br /> specific guidance contained in this system statement.) <br /> As St. Anthony plans for current and future residents, it should focus on protecting <br /> natural resources, ensuring sufficient public infrastructure, and developing transition <br /> strategies to increase density and encourage infill development. <br /> Specific strategies for developed communities are found on pages 24-25 of the 2030 <br /> Regional Development Framework. <br /> 2 <br />
