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 />The COR will serve as a City Center primarily to bring people of Ramsey together. The COR will <br />also attract energy from the surrounding region. It will be a unique destination, technology - <br />oriented, and serve as a gathering place. It will feature unique architecture stressing historical <br />feel and function. <br />4/25/17 City Council Work Session Comment. Recommend the following edits. <br />• Needs to clarify how this is going to be something other cities do not have and remain <br />market driven. <br />• Statement on technology should be amended to 'technology accessible' and not 'technology - <br />oriented. <br />• Does the comment on 'welcoming to all cultures' belong in this statement? <br />• Is the vision for 'unique 'achievable? <br />• Is the vision for architecture and historic feel achievable and unique? <br />5/25/17 EDA Comment. The Vision Statement needs additional refinement. Suggestions include, but <br />are not limited to the following. <br />• The development should be market -driven, and not dictated by the City. <br />• The City should embrace market -driven opportunities as they come. <br />0 <br />Ir"il....isuIr.n <br />p t II d. Iri s <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 />HORIZONTALLY MIXED USE approach versus a strict adherence to traditional 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 />It is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cost-e/fective and efficient government servlceso <br />The COR Interim Development Plan Page 4 of 21 <br />
