In <br />2015, the City's Planning Commission described a need to evaluate and clarify the vision for The COR in <br />response to several project approvals. <br />Common Terms <br />The COR Development Plan. This is the existing land use plan for The COR circa 2011. This is the official <br />control and legal basis for land use decisions within The COR. Also referred to as the 'Development <br />Plan'. This is the 'second generation plan' for the development, preceded by the Ramsey Town Center <br />Master Plan. <br />The COR Interim Development Plan. This is the document you are reading now. While the City <br />continues to refine land use recommendations and feasibility analysis for The COR, this document is <br />intended to be a guiding policy document to review quality projects that do not meet the strict <br />adherence to The COR Development Plan. Also referred to as the 'Interim Development Plan'. <br />The COR Development Plan Amendment. This is a future document. This will be the document that <br />updates the Zoning Code, otherwise known as the official controls, for The COR. This will replace existing <br />Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and Design Framework. Also referred to as the 'Plan Amendment'. <br />This will be considered the 'third generation plan' for The COR. <br />Using this Document <br />This land use plan is an interim plan that will guide land use decisions prior to a formal amendment for <br />The COR. Uses currently allowed in The COR Development Plan shall be allowed consistent with <br />applicable law. Projects consistent with options contained within this Interim Development Plan, but <br />conflict with the existing plan, may proceed forward, but shall require a formal Plan Amendment. The <br />policy directives of this document are advisory in nature, and are not binding. If a proposed project <br />meets the minimum requirements of the existing Development Plan, it shall be considered consistent <br />with the Development Plan and Zoning Code and shall be approved. <br />Vision <br />The Vision Statement was created for the purpose of crafting update land use scenarios and is not <br />intended to approve or disapprove individual projects. Projects must be reviewed using the City's Zoning <br />Code as the official land use control. The Vision Statement is not a regulatory tool, yet a visionary tool. <br />It is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cost-ef,Jective and efficient government services. <br />The COR Interim Development Plan Page 3 of 20 <br />
