7550 Sunwood Drive NW • Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />City Hall: 763.427.1410 • Fax: 763.427.5543 <br />www.cityoframsey.com <br />Vision <br />The Vision Statement was created for the purpose of crafting update land use scenarios and is not <br />intended to approve or disapprove individual projects. 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 that embraces <br />natural market opportunities. The COR will also attract energy from the surrounding region. It <br />will be a unique destination, technology -accessible, and serve as a gathering place. It will feature <br />unique architecture stressing historical feel and function. <br />Development -Wide Assumptions <br />1. The development is part of a broader GROWTH 'iL*I AGEMENT 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 />3. Our vision includes significant areas guided for a variety of RETAIL OFFERINGS. HOUSING <br />DENSITY is important to that vision. <br />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 />It is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cast-ef ivc and efficient government servia . <br />The COR Interim Development Plan Page 4 of 19 <br />
