Also repeating Figure 6, north of the CR 116 areas, Single Family Residential designation begins at the golf course and continues east along the north side of 149th Ave. NE to the landfill site. Between 149th and CR 116, a combination of Medium and High Density Residerttial is proposed. The landfill area is designated Open Space. A Park would be developed between this Open Space area and 153rd Ave. NW. On the south of the Open Space area is designated Industrial. South of Hwy. 10, land uses are identical to Figure 6 from Mississippi West Park and to the east, with an area east of Ramsey Blvd. providing for High Density Residential. However, some land uses that differ from Figure 6 are shown. Next to the park, Medium Density Residential replaces Commercial (retail) which in turn replaces some Single Family Residential land along the highway. Business Warehouse uses are shown west of the bridge road, again to take advantage of the high visibility of the location at the interchange of two major traffic routes. The south access road here is moved away from the highway. This allows for a larger area for larger commercial developments. This road and the residential collector are shown passing under the bridge road. Single Family Residential is shown for the remainder of the area south of Hwy. 10. Attached to this report is a chart comparing the scenarios shown in Figures 4 - 7 with the existing situation (Attachment A). The charts serve two purposes. One, the quantity of land in each of the different land use categories is listed. Two, the acreages in each alternative can be compared to the existing zoning scheme and to other alternatives. It should be noted that the comparison covers only the Hwy. 10 study area. A similar analysis that includes the entire city is recommended as.part of the comprehensive plan amendment work. Figure 7A This alternative, a variation of Figure 7, evolved from discussion between staff and the consultants. In general, alternative 7A utilizes a roadway system similar to the one approved by the Planning' Commission and shown in Figure 7. There are two ma/n differences between tkis figure and the others. First, the land uses are separated into only two types: residential and nonresidential. Second, it covers the entire city rather than individual sebwnents. More focused attention has been devoted to the alignment of specific roads and the amount of residential and nonresidential land. For s!mplicity, only the Hwy. 10 corridor land uses are identified in this report. '~'
