7550 Sunwood Drive NW • Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />City Hall: 763.427.1410 • Fax: 763.427.5543 <br />www.cityoframsey.com <br />The COR should serve as a City Center primarily to bring people of Ramsey together, but also <br />attract energy from the surrounding region. It will attract a diverse audience by being welcoming <br />to all cultures, open to all types of businesses, and attract a wide audience. It will be a unique <br />destination by having something other cities do no, be technology -oriented, serve as a <br />community center and gather place, feature unique architecture stressing historical feel and <br />function, and be family -oriented. <br />Development -Wide Assumptions <br />1. The development is part of a broader GROWTH MANAGEMENT STRATEGY that protects the <br />City's primary land use goal to respect the BALANCE OF RURAL AND URBAN CHARACTER. <br />2. The development shall take a MIX OF USES within the development, which is also known as <br />approach versus a strict adherence to traditional mixed -use <br />HORIZONTALLY MIXED USE <br />definitions to require vertically mixed -use buildings. The mix of land use districts and land use <br />types within the development as a whole shall guide success of mixed use, not strictly mix of <br />uses within a building, block, or individual district. These types of mixes although not required, <br />are encouraged. The 'mix of uses' approach shall not preclude flexible first floor and vertically <br />mixed use buildings. <br />3. Our vision includes significant areas guided for a variety of RETAIL OFFERINGS. HOUSING <br />is important to that vision. <br />4. The emphasis of the master plan concepts is to GUIDE LAND USE, and is NOT SPECIFIC SITE <br />PLAN REVIEW. Future developers shall have the creative freedom to propose other concepts <br />that are generally in line with OVERALL VISION. <br />Insert overall land use map here. This will include expanding the boundary west of Armstrong and south <br />of Highway 10 to illustrate full retail guiding. Overall map not yet completed. Existing Map shown for <br />illustrative purposes only. <br />Continued on next page. <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 4 of 19 <br />
