Official mapping does not require major approvals or public financial assistance. Additionally, because there is no physical action being taken, there is no infrastructure required. It is not anticipated that any existing permits or plans will need to be modified. Land Use Describe current and recent past land use and development on the site and on adjacent lands. Discuss project compatibilibj with adjacent and nearby land uses. Indicate whether any potential conflicts involve environmental matters. Identify any potential environmental hazards due to past site uses, such as soil contamination or abandoned storage tanks, or proximity to nearby hazardous liquid or gas piplines. Current land use along the TH 10 corridor through the study area includes a mix of vacant, agricultural, residential, industrial, commercial and public/institutional uses (See Figure 9.1, Existing Land Use in the Ramsey Town Center AUAR excerpted from the Ramsey Comprehensive Plan, 2002). The City anticipates an increasing amount of commercial and residential development from Ramsey Boulevard to the western edge of the study area (see Figure 5.4, Future Land Use in the Ramsey Town Center ALTAR excerpted from the Ramsey Comprehensive Plan, 2002). The majority of the development includes the Ramsey Town Center (See Exhibit 2 and the TH 10 Corridor Management Plan, Section 3.2.2). Item 7 of the Ramsey Town Center AUAR documents that the Ramsey Town Center development will contain approximately 2200 units of medium- and high-density residential units, as well as over 1.6 million square feet of mixed use development. The City also anticipates that approximately 270 acres of land between Puma Street and the western edge of the Ramsey Town Center, and from CSAH 116 and TH 10 to the north and south will be developed as a mixture of medium- and high-density residential. There are also 100 acres of land between TH 10 and Riverdale Road (east of Mississippi West Park) is available for mixed use development. Ramsey is also developing a series of frontage and supporting roads parallel to TH 10. The proposed action of officially mapping land along TH 10 (See Exhibit 4: Recommended Area for TH 10 Corridor Official Mapping for the specific area) does not require any physical action and is compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses. Additionally, official mapping poses no environmental hazards related to past site uses, such as soil contamination, abandoned storage tanks, or hazardous liquid or gas pipelines (see also Item 27, Compatibility with Plans). 10.
