Recently, the Minnesota Legislature directed an update of rules for the MRCCA Overlay District. An Overlay District is a zoning district that sits on top of the City's basic (otherwise known as `underlying') zoning districts with the intent to create additional protections for some sort of sensitive resource that would not be protected by basic rules of the underlying district or broader geographic area. The MRCCA is a 72 mile corridor of the Mississippi River within the Metro area, including Ramsey. The revised rules will have impacts on minimum development standards for private property along the Mississippi River Shoreline. There is actually more benefit for Ramsey in the revised rules than drawbacks, as the revised rules are better aligned with our Comprehensive Plan. For more information on the revised rules, please visit http:1/www.dnr.state.mn.us/waters/watermgmt section/critical area'index.html. Joint Work Session with City Council. The Planning Commission and City Council will hold a Joint Work Session on Tuesday, January 24 at 5:30 p.m. to consider the process for a review and discussion for the vision for The COR. The Economic Development Authority is also invited to this meeting. The EDA has a role in the development in terms of economic development goals and real estate transactions. In addition, this allows the Planning Commission to share its perspective on the vision, so that this perspective can be better incorporated into specific projects as they are reviewed by the City.
