2. Its contiguous location to a free standing center as designated in the Metropolitan Council's development framework; 3. Plans and data in the Metropolitan Council development framework indicating that the City of Ramsey should designate between three and five square miles for inclusion within the 1990 metropolitan urban service area; 4. Likelihood of metro sewer interceptor availabilitY within the relatively near future; and 5. Relatively imminent implementation of County plans to link the City of Ramsey and the City of Andover with a Rum River bridge crossing connecting to the Seventh Avenue underpass Federal demonstration project in the City of Anoka. Specific community goals and objectives which will be adopted as part of the plan are: Within the limitations of physical and environmental constraints, land use regulations and controls of the City should encourage: 1. Employment opportunities within the City for residents of the City to the extent that they can be economically provided; 2. A mix of housing types, both with respect to cost and form; 3. A consistent growth in assessed valuation to match growth in government service costs; 4. Convenient and economical outlets for retail and personal services; 5. Clustering of urban functions and land uses requiring urban services to the extent possible as a mechanism to preserve an open environment and to minimize the total land service costs to the extent possible consistent with current development and an orderly transition of the community from its current urban status to a more dense population over time. Basic development assumptions underlining plan: 1. Construction of a bridge crossing the Rum River as an easterly extension of CSAH #57 within the relatively near future (five years or less). 2. Continued use of MTH #47 as a major artery in the community without significant change in alignment.
