Mr. Otto proceeded 1o review tile standards for the four areas thai resulted front tile recenl MUSA boundary expansion approval: 1. MUSA Area (urban sta:~dards); 2. Urban Reserve Area (uhimate urban area, 10 acre minimum lot size); 3. Rural Transition Area (2.5 acre minimum tot size at a density no~ to exceed 4 units in 40 acres): 4. Rural Ser¥ice Area (area likely to never receive city sewer, 10 acre minimum lot size tit a density not to exceed 4 trails in 40 acres). Mr. Oito noted that in addition there is the Critical River District in which the minimum lot size is 5 acres. Mr. Otto proceeded to review some of the information derived from the Highway #10 Corridor Stud),. That stud), indicated that if there is no effort for a planned industrial park, the City cannot be at a competitive advantage relative to other communities. Ramsey does have the potential for a phmned industrial park as there is 1200 acres of industrial zoned land. Mr. Otto reviewed the land use zoning recommendations front the Highway #10 Corridor Stud5,. Mr. Otto then reviewed the existing land use zoning and the hind use zoning proposed based on what is currently happening and expected to happen in the City in the near future. The major zoning changes proposed are: rezoning all B-1 and 1-1 Industrial areas outside the MUSA area to Rural Business and Rural Industrial; rezoning l-I property withi:: the MUSA area that abuts Hv,,y. #10 on the north side to B-l; property abutting Hwy. #10 on the south side would be zoned for business with rezoning as necessary to have residential abutting the fiver; creating multi-family zoning to serve as a buffer between single family residential and industrial property; creating muhi-family zoning on the east side of Nov,'then Blvd. in the vicinity of Ramsey Commons; rezoning multi-family on the ,,,,'est side of Nowthen Blvd. in accordance with adjacent single family residential; rezoning B-1 at the intersection of Nowthen Blvd. and Hwy. #47 to single family residential. Ivlr. Fuhs inquired as to the net effect on tax base resulting from the proposed rezonings. Mr. Otto stated that City Staff could research the net effect to tax base caused by rezonings. During the discussion, it w,'ts noted that the City of Anoka would like Ramsey to upgrade it's performance standards in that area where IvicKinley Street is proposed to be extended into Ramsey. Consequently, this area is the likely candidate for a planned industrial park. meeting recessed at 8:28 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at ~:40 p.m. City Council/March 21, !990 P,'~ge 2 of 3
