DATE: TO: FROM: RE: MEMORANDUM January 30, 1996 Ryan Schroeder, City Administrator James Gromberg, Economic Development Coordinator Comprehensive Land Use Comparisons As Councilmember Zimmerman suggested at the City Council meeting on January 23, 1996, I have reevaluated the figures for land use generated for the proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan. These figures reflect the suggestion of changing the property to the west of Ramsey Blvd. from the proposed mix of uses to only commemSa~mdustrial property. The property breakdowns for this adjustment changes the total property use in the study area as follows: Single Family Residential Mixed Residential Commercial/Industrial Open Space Totals 27-Sep-95 23-Jan-96 856.12 808.12 71.82 41.85 1,121.67 1,199.67 339.93 339.93 2,389.57 2,389.57 The above acreage numbers reflect the gross acreage including previously developed property. When breaking the area down into developable property, the following breakdowns are used: 27-Sep-95 23.Jan-96 Existing Single Family 781 733 610 Mixed Residential 69 39 -- Commercial/Industrial 574 652 975 Open Space 161 16I 16I Totals 1,585 1,585 1,585 Based upon the above breakdown of property uses, City Staff has projected the square footage of building space created and number of both single family and mixed residential housing units created from these land areas, The following criteria was used to determine these projections: · 35% lot coverage for commercia!fmdustrial property · Three single family units per acre for single family development · Seven units per acre for mixed residential. Table B shows the amount of commercialfmdustrial building square footage that would be mated under the listed assumptions. In addition, the table also shows the breakdown of the residential units that would be created and effects that the construction would have on the mix of single family units compared to mixed residential units.
