Highway 47 Plan <br />What is a Small Area Plan? <br />In short, it is a plan for a small area. Small area plans are detailed plans for neighborhoods or areas of <br />the city that have similar characteristics. Small area plans go in depth about recommendations for <br />economic development, land use, zoning, transportation, and parks and trails. Small area plans allow a <br />community to go more in depth into recommendations for an important area than a comprehensive <br />plan could. <br />Small Area Plans and the Comprehensive Plan <br />The City of Ramsey has dedicated time and resources to completing an effective, helpful comprehensive <br />plan for 2040. This small area plan for Highway 47 will complement the comprehensive plan; and <br />provide additional information, including short-term solutions and recommendations, while the <br />comprehensive plan provides more broad and overarching techniques. The comprehensive planning <br />process informed this small area planning process, and allowed stakeholders to provide input on both <br />planning processes during one meeting. This helped prevent meeting fatigue from residents, and <br />created a more effective planning process for both the Highway 47 plan and the 2040 comprehensive <br />plan. <br />1 <br />
