City of Ramsey 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br />Chapter 5: Land Use <br />These planned capacities appear to be in general compliance with the <br />Metropolitan Council's published forecasts of 16,500 households and 11,300 <br />employment by 2030. It should be noted that the density of employment can be <br />highly variable due to the wide range of business and structure types in each <br />commercial and industrial category. <br />6. Net Density of New Planned Residential Land <br />The Metropolitan Council requires a calculation of the net density of areas of <br />new planned residential development that have changed since the last <br />Comprehensive Plan. They require a minimum density of three units per net <br />developable acre. Net density is calculated by dividing the total number of <br />planned units by the acres of land guided for residential use (minus wetlands and <br />road right-of-way). Table 5-7 shows the net density of the areas guided for a <br />residential land use within the MUSA between 2008 — existing development — <br />and the new 2030 Land Use Plan. <br />Table 5-7 Net Density of New Planned Residential Land <br />Land Use Change - 2008 Additional Min Total Avg <br />(Existing) to 2030 Plan Net Acres Density Units Density <br />Note: The City has alsc been participz ting in the .vletro olita i Council'; plat monitoring program.

Historic Preservation <br />Historic preservation is an important element of Ramsey's identity even though there <br />are not many historically significant buildings or sites in Ramsey. In fact the Town <br />Hall is the only building on the National Registrar of Historic Places. However, any <br />time a community is located on a major transportation route such as the Mississippi <br />River, it is bound to be rich with stories and adventures of early settlement. Many of <br />these stories are important because they begin to tell us how Ramsey became the <br />community that it is today. <br />Although Ramsey does not have a historic preservation district or an official body <br />that responds to issues of historic significance, Anoka County has an active Historical <br />Cite of Ramsey 2030 Comprehensive Plan Page 5-41 <br />
