St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 4: Land Use 33 remains in the community. Redevelopment areas may be identified as such because they are areas that are currently underutilized or mismatched with surrounding uses, they are strategic economic development opportunities for the City, or they are locations in which developers have recently expressed interest. Potential opportunity areas were identified early in the planning process by the community and the Steering Committee based on known areas of development interest and inconsistencies in the current land use map guidance. Some of these target areas necessitated a change in land use guidance from the current land use map, while others are simply areas of discussion because of their “likely redevelopment” potential. City staff and the City Council also provided input on land use discussion areas. Development of a Future Land Use Guide Plan The City’s 2030 Planned Land Use map (shown in FIGURE 4-5) is limited by the fact that it does not show specific parcels or lots in detail. The first step in developing an updated land use map was to recreate the existing planned land use map using better data and visualization. FIGURE 4-5 shows (on the left) a modified draft version of a land use map using 2030 Planned Future Land Uses from the Metropolitan Council’s Regional Planned Land Use layer, overlaid with the land use “opportunity areas” identified early in the planning process by the community and the Steering Committee. The map on the right shows the final 2040 guide land use plan after holding land use discussions with the Steering Committee and City Council about appropriate choices for the target opportunity areas. FIGURE 4-4 describes each discussion area and the ultimate outcome of each area’s 2040 land use guidance. Additional updates to the 2030 land use guide plan include the following, as seen in the comparison map: • Removal of certain categories. In this land use plan update, the guide plan will not include a district for Mixed Use, Multi-Optional Development, Golf Course, Water, or Storm Water Ponds. • Institutional uses. In the 2040 guide plan, institutional uses are replaced by their appropriate proximate surrounding land use types. In all cases, institutional uses are replaced either by Low Density Residential or Recreation Open Space guidance. • Errors and inconsistencies resolved. A close look at existing land use, zoning, and desired future land use conditions resulted in minor adjustments to individual areas or parcels that were guided in a manner incompatible with either their surrounding uses or the community’s stated vision for the future.
