Condor -Wide Development <br />Standards <br />Private Transportation <br />Facilities <br />Standards <br />Proposed MRCCA Rules <br />Existing MRCCA Ordnance <br />Consistent with WSR, minimize impacts on natural <br />terrain /landscape. <br />Private roads, driveways, and parking areas: not within SPZ, BIZ or SIZ; must net structure setbacks, take advantage <br />of natural screening. Exceptions for water access facilities in SPZ, BIZ, and SIZ. <br />Public Transportation, <br />Recreational & Utility <br />Facilities <br />Consistent with WSR , minimize visibility, underground <br />where feasible, roads minimize impacts on natural <br />terrain and landscape, avoid cuts and fills. <br />Avoid primary conservation areas, reduce visibility to extent feasible <br />Stairways. Lifts, Landings <br />Permit required <br />Specific dimensional standards for residential lots. Emphasis on limiting visibility <br />Signs <br />Don't impair views of the water; signs prohibited in <br />some areas, other underlying zoning requirements. <br />Underlying zoning as long as off- premise signs net dimensional and performance standards- Emphasis on limiting <br />visibility <br />Bluffs &Slopes <br />Development and slope alteration prohibited on <br />slopes > 12% <br />No structures, impervious surface, lard alteration, and intensive vegetation removal on slopes of 18% and greater - <br />some exceptions. Development on slopes between 12 %and 18% allowed with conditions. <br />Vegetation <br />Prohibits clearcutting on undeveloped islands, slope <br />or face of bluffs, within 2M ft of OHWL, and within <br />40ft of bluffline. Requires permit. Blend into views <br />and maintain continuous natural cover. <br />Maintain existing vegetation within SIZ, BIZ, SPZ, wetlands, and floodplains- no intensive cleariing some exceptions. <br />Restoration required for violations. <br />Stonmwater <br />Imp surface coverage < =30%. City wide stormwater <br />plan adopted in 2008. Plan requires development of <br />controls consistent with MPCA urban BMPs. <br />Meet state and Metro Council standards, capture first inch rainfall. <br />Erosion &Sediment <br />Control <br />BMPs required for land disturbance> 3,000 sq. ft. <br />Land Alteration <br />CUP required for >300 cu yd <br />Wthin SIZ, > 10 cu yd or > 250 sq ft requires permit; prohibited within BIZ and SPZ, with exceptions. Local permit and <br />BMPs for rip rap and retaining walls in SIZ, BIZ, SPZ. <br />lAtigation <br />Mtigation required for variances, CUPs, & IUPs with impact on corridor resources. Nexus & proportionality. <br />CUPs &IUPs <br />Permits required for all structures <br />Required for mining <br />Subdivision <br />Mnimize density through TDR and PUD, establish <br />continuous trail corridor along river. Allow public <br />access to river. <br />For CA-2 District only - smaller lots allowed with additional resource protections (conservation design). <br />For all CA Districts - open space required for all subdivisions of 3 or more lots. Percentage varies by CA District. 50%in <br />CA-1 and CA-2; primary conservation areas in CA-3, up to 25%, CA-5, CA-6, CA-7, up to 15%; open space must connect <br />as part of network. <br />Subdivision - Dedication <br />All development in IVRCCA must be done as a PUD <br />with 50%open space preservation and minimal site <br />alteration. <br />Dedication: if 3+ lots or PUD, reasonable portion of land or cash equivalent to be dedicated for riverfront access, <br />parks, open space, etc within MRCCA <br />Site Plans <br />Required for selective or clearcutting. <br />Site plans containing specific elements are required for variances, CUPS, IUPs, and subdivisions. <br />Other Overlay Districts <br />Shoreland, WSR. In 1995 and 2006 city proposed <br />revisions to do a combined WSR -MRCCA shoreland <br />overlay, but the city council did not support the 50% <br />open space requirement for PUDs in WSR. <br />WSR designation removed <br />Ramsey: Comparison of Existing IVRCCA Ordinance and Proposed NRCCA Rile Standards <br />The purpose of this chart is to compare the existing ordinance to the proposed rules on key provisions. DNR staff started completing <br />iterrs in the column labeled "existing MRCCA district" & "existing NIRCCAordinance" based on the community's web based ordinance. <br />Corrections and completion of these items will be completed at each meeting. <br />District- Specific Development Standards <br />Standards <br />Height <br />Setbads: <br />Bluffline <br />River - OF-WL <br />Mssissippi <br />Rum <br />Crow <br />Lot Area <br />Lot Width <br />Existing IVRCCA District <br />Rural Open Space (96%) Urban Developed (4 %) <br />35* <br />Unsewered 35', Sewered 20' <br />200' unsewered, 100'sewered <br />Unsewered 2.5 acres (some underlying zoning is <br />greater), with public sewer 12,150 - 40,000 sq ft <br />depend' r€ on underlying zoning and riparian vs <br />nonriparian <br />200' unsewered / 90- 125' severed <br />Proposed MRCCA Districts <br />r <br />100' <br />200' <br />underlying zoning <br />underlying zoning <br />CA-2 <br />35' <br />100' <br />200' <br />2 acres <br />200' <br />CA-3 <br />35' <br />40' <br />100' <br />75' <br />underlying zoning <br />underlying zonirg <br />CA-5 <br />underlying zoning <br />w/ visibility limits <br />40' <br />underlying zoning <br />underlying zoning <br />Underlyirg zoning districts in the IVRCCA indude: WSR recreational, low density residential, open space, ag commercial. <br />primary part of Ramsey Zoning Ordinance: section 9.21, environmental protection <br />* In 1995 city considered reducing max height to 25 feet but did not approve it; proposed office park category will feature 45 foot heights <br />
