141 <br />Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area Districts <br />River Neighborhood <br />The river neighborhood district is characterized by primarily residential neighborhoods that are <br />riparian or readily visible from the river or that abut riparian parkland. The district includes parks <br />and open space, limited commercial development, marinas, and related land uses. <br />The river neighborhood district must be managed to maintain the character of the river corridor <br />within the context of existing residential and related neighborhood development, and to protect <br />and enhance habitat, parks and open space, public river corridor views, and scenic, natural, and <br />historic areas. Minimizing erosion and the flow of untreated storm water into the river and <br />enhancing habitat and shoreline habitat vegetation are priorities in the district. <br />Rural Open Space <br />The rural and open space district is characterized by rural and low -density development patterns <br />and land uses, and includes land that is riparian or visible from the river, as well as large, <br />undeveloped tracts of high ecological and scenic value, floodplain, and undeveloped islands. Many <br />primary conservation areas exist in the district. <br />The rural open space district must be managed to sustain and restore the rural and natural <br />character of the corridor and to protect and enhance habitat, parks and open space, public river <br />corridor views, and scenic, natural, and historic areas. <br />Separated From River <br />The separated from river district is characterized by its physical and visual distance from the <br />Mississippi River. The district includes land separated from the river by distance, topography, <br />development, or a transportation corridor. The land in this district is not readily visible from the <br />Mississippi River. <br />The CA -SR district provides flexibility in managing development without negatively affecting the <br />key resources and features of the river corridor. Minimizing negative impacts to primary <br />conservation areas and minimizing erosion and flow of untreated storm water into the Mississippi <br />River are priorities in the district. <br />Cily of RAMSEY <br />August 2018 Draft <br />_iik <br />Comprehensive Plan 2040 <br />
