Ramsey Land Use/Transportation Corridor 4/18/94 page 2 Amendment. These planning activities basically designated urban and rural service areas, and resulted in zoning and subdivision regulations for controlling new residential and commercial development. Throughout the 1980's, the City of Ramsey continued to experience above- average residential growth. Until 1985, much of this residential development occurred throughout the City as large-lot residential developments without the benefit of municipal sanitary sewer and water services. In 1985, the southeastern part of the City received central sanitar5, sewer. In 1980, the City prepared its comprehensive plan in response to the Metropolitan Land Planning Act of 1976. Since, 1980, the City has prepared several amendments to its original plan. The purpose of these plan amendments has been for the most part to amend its urban service area in response to continued residential development pressure. In addition, however, the City developed four distinct development areas as part of its I990 plan amendment. The consulting team also met with adjacent cities to evaluate the existence of shared land use and transportation issues. In summary, these issues include: The planned land uses and site design criteria for the Anoka Enterprise Park and the possible e~ension of McKinley Street. The potential for future commercial land~'uses at the intersection of'TH 116 and TH 47. The potential Dayton and Ramsey Mississippi River bridge crossing. The City of Elk River land use and public facility planning activities that the City of Ramsey may wish to monitor.
