Future Land Use Descriptions Lakes and Rivers Low Density Residential Areas guided Low Density Residential must have urban services before development can take place. These areas will average three (3) units per acre and contain single family, detached dwellings. Where Low Density Residential is directly adjacent to areas guided Rural Developing that contain 2.5 acre lots, strategies for density transitioning will be employed. This means that while an area of Low Density Residential may average three (3) units per acre, those lots directly adjacent to 2.5 acre lots will be closer in size to 2.5 acres in order to provide an effective transition that maintains the existing character of the neighborhood. Screening methods, such as landscaping must also be employed to transition between very low density areas and urban lots. Medium Density Residential These areas are within the MUSA and intended to receive medium density housing including lower density multi -family housing and higher density single-family housing. Average density will be six (6) units per acre. Medium density detached single-family is becoming an increasingly popular development pattern for Ramsey. High Density Residential These areas are within MUSA and intended to accommodate multi -family housing such as townhomes and apartment buildings. Average density will be ten (10) units per acre. Business Park Areas guided Business Park are reserved for office and industrial development. Commercial Areas guided Commercial may include a range of neighborhood and community commercial/retail development. Mixed Use Mixed Use areas may include a combination of residential, commercial, light industrial, open space and a transit hub. Public/Quasi-Public This category generally includes city offices, public works facilities, churches, schools other non-profit or government facilities, and bridges/major rights -of -way. Park Parks, trails and open space include the City Park and trail system, golf courses, regional parks, wetlands and the greenway. Lands in this category are intended to preserve the natural resource base and provide an adequate supply of active and passive recreational lands in Ramsey. Closed Landfill The risk to public health and safety associated with the closed landfill in Ramsey is mitigated by implementing land -use controls that minimize public exposure to landfill hazards and protect the state's response action equipment. In other words, future use of land at and around closed landfills needs to be planned carefully and responsibly. The purpose, then, for preparing a CLUP for each landfill is to protect the integrity of the landfill's remediation and monitoring systems, protect human health and public safety at each landfill, and City of Ramsey 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update Land Use Plan Page 19 of 26
