City of Ramsey 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br />Appendix A: Community Background <br />The mix of uses, combined with higher density development, complements the site's proximity to the <br />Northstar Commuter Rail Corridor, and in 2000 the Metropolitan Council awarded the City of Ramsey a <br />grant to work with the community to plan the Town Center as a mixed-use transit -oriented development. <br />A master plan was created for the area based on input received at these community meetings. <br />A large area of multi -family housing was also proposed just west of the Town Center Mixed Use area <br />along Highway 10. The future land use map also shows expansion of the industrial area located along <br />Highway 10. The Rural Preserve area is located at the far north end of the City, while the area between <br />the rural preserve and the MUSA line is identified as Rural Developing. The Central Rural Preserve area <br />is located in the center of Ramsey, just north of the MUSA line. <br />The future land use acreages and inventory are presented in Table 3-13. It appears that large lot single <br />family housing will continue to be a predominant land use in the City, with Rural Developing accounting <br />for 38.2 percent of total land use. Low Density Residential, which is planned for areas served by sewer, <br />will account for 13.6 percent of total land use. Parks, Trails, and Open Space will account for 12 percent <br />of the total land in the City. <br />Table 3-13: 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use <br />Land Use Category <br />Gross Acreage <br />Net Acreage <br />% of City <br />Central Rural Reserve <br />986.76 <br />863.01 <br />5.2% <br />High Density Residential <br />100.96 <br />90.60 <br />0.5% <br />Low Density Residential <br />2,604.54 <br />2,248.63 <br />13.6% <br />Medium Density Residential <br />429.61 <br />389.57 <br />2.2% <br />Mixed Use <br />379.23 <br />354.11 <br />2.0% <br />Park <br />2,292.26 <br />1,532.48 <br />12.0% <br />Places to Shop <br />329.00 <br />319.12 <br />1.7% <br />Places to Work <br />633.30 <br />612.78 <br />3.3% <br />Public/Quasi-Public <br />140.03 <br />113.73 <br />0.7% <br />Rural Developing <br />7,298.48 <br />5,772.32 <br />38.2% <br />Rural Preserve <br />1,322.00 <br />782.08 <br />6.9% <br />Water <br />568.24 <br />568.24 <br />3.0% <br />Wetland <br />- <br />3,437.74 <br />- <br />Right -of -Way <br />2,043.76 <br />2,043.76 <br />10.7% <br />Total City <br />19,128.16 <br />19,128.16 <br />100.0% <br />City of Ramsey 2030 Comprehensive Plan Appendix A-42 <br />
